A perfect cocktail for low temperatures and nights out in the city with that double-breasted winter peacoat you’ve been dying to wear.
There’s not much better than a glass of melted butter mixed with your favorite golden spirit. This drink was the result of colonial New Englander’s habit of putting rum in everything.
It just so happens, this combo actually taste good.
This version was created out of a Boston cocktail bar in Hawthorne, and makes the winter warmer with the all-important addition of ice cream and black tea.
Gentlemen, enjoy.
