Ingredients:

1 cup rum
230g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 lemon
110g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
4 cups water
1000g
1/3 cup butter
70g
1 cinnamon stick
3g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel the garlic cloves and crush them lightly.
- Zest the lemon and then juice it, keeping both the zest and juice separately.
2. Make the Simple Syrup:
- 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.
3. Infuse the Syrup:
- 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.
4. Strain the Syrup:
- 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.
5. Combine Butter and Rum:
- 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.
6. Mix Everything Together:
- Gradually pour the prepared infused syrup into the rum and butter mixture, stirring constantly to ensure everything is well combined.
7. Serve:
- 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.
Note: While garlic adds a unique twist to the recipe, it is unconventional in traditional Hot Buttered Rum recipes. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your taste preferences.

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.
