Hot buttered rum, a traditional winter drink, is made with rum, hot water, butter, and spices. However, if you're looking for variations on this classic, there are plenty of synonyms to try out. Spiking your hot chocolate or coffee with rum is a great alternative, as is mulled wine or cider. Even a hot toddy, made with whiskey, honey, and lemon, can give you that warm, cozy feeling. For those who want something a little stronger, a hot gin punch or hot applejack toddy may be just the ticket. Whatever your preferred synonym for hot buttered rum, it's sure to keep you feeling toasty all winter long.
