BROWN BUTTERERD RUM // Makes 6 cocktails
Recipe credit to Lee Noble, Cocktail Specialist for Quaker City Mercantile
Ingredients:
- Stick / 110 g salted butter
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom or 6 cardamom pods
- 1 split vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 cups / 1.2 L water
- 1.5 cups / 350 ml dark rum
- .5 cup / 100 g light or dark brown sugar
Garnish: Cinnamon sticks
Instructions: Melt the butter in a small skillet over low heat on the stove, grill, or campfire. Add the cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla. Swirling the skillet occasionally, continue to heat the mixture until it becomes brown and foamy, and smells nutty and toasty, about 6 minutes. Remove the butter from the heat and allow it to cool and slightly resolidify in the skillet. While the butter is cooling, bring the water to a boil. Remove the water from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes before adding the rum and stirring to combine. Remove and discard the vanilla bean and whole cardamom pods (if using) from the cooled brown butter. Mix in the brown sugar until well incorporated; the texture should be like wet sand. Divide the mixture between 6 mugs and top each with the water-rum mixture. Garnish and serve.
