Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the garlic cloves and crush them lightly.
- Zest the lemon and then juice it, keeping both the zest and juice separately.
- In a saucepan, add 4 cups of water and 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar completely dissolves. This will create a simple syrup base.
- Add the crushed garlic cloves, lemon zest, and 1 cinnamon stick to the simple syrup.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture to remove the garlic, lemon zest, and cinnamon stick. This will leave you with a flavorful, infused syrup.
- In a separate saucepan, melt 1/3 cup of butter over low heat.
- Once the butter has melted, slowly add in 1 cup of rum and the lemon juice, stirring continuously until well mixed.
- Gradually pour the prepared infused syrup into the rum and butter mixture, stirring constantly to ensure everything is well combined.
- Carefully ladle the hot buttered rum into serving mugs.
- Optionally, you can garnish each drink with a thin slice of lemon or a small cinnamon stick for added aroma and presentation.
Tips:
- Use high-quality rum for the best flavor.
- Freshly grated cinnamon can add a more aromatic spice element to the drink.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to suit your taste.
- Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth and complexity.
- Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a slice of lemon for a festive touch.
