Hot Buttered Rum is a cocktail made for winter. Just like many of the other winter warming drinks laced with liquor, the hot buttered rum recipe can be adapted to your liking. If you have a favourite flavour, such as vanilla, go ahead and add it in. If you have an old bottle of homemade holiday liqueur gathering dust, add a splash to the mix. Heck, why not throw some cannabis into the winter cocktail pot?!
Cannabis Spiked Hot Buttered Rum Cocktail
Take your Hot Buttered Rum cocktail to new HIGHS by substituting the butter with cannabutter and turn it into a cannabis-infused drink to enjoy with your favourite stoner movies on a cold night.
With endless taste possibilities, we prefer to start with the basics and use this base recipe as a springboard to cocktail creativity.
