Hot Buttered Rum

Don't cringe when you read the list of ingredients. Yes it's just that luscious and decadent, and it will keep in the freezer for three months. So, make up a batch for sipping, then put on a movie by the fire, or sit outside near a bonfire. The kids will enjoy their "rum-less" mocktail as much as you savor your adult version. Well, maybe not . . . but what they don't know won't hurt 'em!
