A Hot Buttered Rum cocktail is on average 350 calories. We have reduced the calorie load here by changing the proportion of Butter and Alcohol. This really works and is enhanced by adding Walnut Bitters for more richness plus an excellent, aged to perfection Bourbon.
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp Butter , unsalted
- 1 C BourbonĀ
- Walnut Bitters
- Pinch Sea Salt
- Toffee Bits
Directions
- In saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and cook until golden brown. Remove from heat. Add bourbon and double the volume, or more.
- To remove impurities, strain through a fine mesh sieve lined with cheese cloth.
- Place in refrigerator for 60 minutes. Butter will cool and harden, making it easy to scoop off the fat.
- To Serve: Rub rim of glass with bourbon and dip in toffee bits. Pour Buttered Bourbon into each glass. Add a dash of Walnut Bitters and pinch of sea salt. Great served with a Cheese platter for appetizers. And for dessert, serve it with Dried Apricots and Candied Walnuts.
- Note: Save the Butter Fat, it is infused beautifully with the Bourbon which would make a lovely Buttercream Frosting. Yum!
