Low-Carb Hot Buttered Rum Mix

My husband loves a bit of rum. And I love buttery spiced flavours. So this may well be the perfect drink for us.

I love that you can keep the mixture tucked in the fridge until you want to make a batch each time. Perfect for warming the souls of visiting friends this winter.

To make your keto-friendly Hot Buttered Rum, combine your prepared rum mix with rum and boiling water in the following amounts:

• 1 tbsp spiced butter mix (15 g/ 0.5 oz)
• 1 shot of dark rum (30 ml)
• 1 cup boiling water (240 ml/ 8 fl oz)
• Optional: substitute water with hot nut milk or add a dash of heavy whipping cream

Pro tip: As an experiment, I also tried blitzing this hot buttered rum in a bullet blender like a bulletproof coffee and they came out deliciously creamy and frothy. I don’t know which I liked better.

Avoiding alcohol? Instead of rum you can even use hot coffee or tea to make flavoured high-fat beverage like bulletproof coffee. Enjoy!

Step-by-step

1. Leave the butter at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften.

   

2. Add the butter and sweetener to your stand mixer bowl and cream until they are light and fluffy.

   

3. Add the vanilla, the spices and the sugar-free maple syrup and beat for about 1 minute until smooth.

   

4. Transfer mix to a lidded jar. Store in the fridge until ready to use.

   

5. To make a hot buttered rum place the spiced butter into a jug and add the boiling water. Whisk to combine and then add the rum. Pour into a serving glass or mug and enjoy.

6. Store in the lidded jar in the fridge for up 2 weeks, or freeze in an ice cube tray in individual portions for up to 6 months.

   

7. Tip

   You can optionally blitz everything in a blender to make it smooth and extra frothy!
