    Ep. 95: The original American Spirit, Rum - Hot Buttered Rum
    Dec 4 2024
    Possibly the best way to enjoy Rum, according to Uncle Brad, is in a Hot Buttered Rum. It’s warm, holiday spices, and who doesn’t like the richness of butter? If you’ve never had one, don’t get all judge-y on us, this is lights out good. UB gives us a fool proof recipe and Jules puts a time period appropriate twist on it with Applejack, pecans, and maple syrup. Stick around for the colonial history behind the drink and we answer @annagouboy’s question, “what are some good bottle combinations for gift giving”.
