    Enjoy the flavors of fall and winter by making your own infused spiced rum to use in a hot buttered rum cocktail. Single serving, slow cooker and stovetop recipes included.

    Sometimes, it can feel like summer here in North Carolina all the way until November. But as soon as the calendar flips to September, I start pulling out the trappings of fall — pumpkins, plaid blankets, scented candles and my favorite chilly weather recipes.

    A homemade hot buttered rum cocktail is one of my favorite cool weather treats. It’s just the thing after a chilly day at the pumpkin patch or for sipping around the fire pit.

    Throughout the fall and winter, I keep a jar of hot buttered rum mixture in the refrigerator so I can offer guests a steaming mug of comfort. (It’s also “good medicine” if you have a cold!)

    While you can buy already-prepared spiced liquor to use in your hot buttered rum, it’s so much better if you make your own infused spiced rum. Ever since I bought the Infuse: Oil, Spirit, Water cookbook at Cost Plus World Market, I’ve been obsessed with making my own cocktail infusions. (Remember my jalapeno bourbon limeade and pineapple rum?)

    To make the infused rum, you’ll need a mason jar cocktail shaker or large mason jar, cotton cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer, assorted spices, dark rum and a decorative glass bottle to store your infused rum.

    World Market has an impressive selection of whole and ground spices to use in infused spiced rum. I love exploring the food section at the Winston-Salem, N.C., store, and I can’t wait for the new Greensboro location to open in a few months.

    For this recipe, I used whole rainbow peppercorns, vanilla beans, whole nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, star anise and allspice berries, as well as fresh ginger and orange zest from the grocery store. (See the recipe at the end of the post for exact ingredients and step-by-step instructions.)

    The hot buttered rum mix features many of the same spices and fall flavors — brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves creamed together.

    The scent reminds me of cookies baking in the oven! (Again the exact recipe is at the end of this post.)

    To make a mug of hot buttered rum, spoon two tablespoons of the butter mixture into a mug. (I love the Organic Glazed Belly Mugs from World Market.) Next, add 1-3 ounces of the infused spiced rum and top with boiling water from a teakettle and stir until the sugar is dissolved.

    Finish things off with some whipped cream. Garnish with ground nutmeg, a cinnamon stick and star anise.

    You can also make a large batch of this on the stovetop or in the slow cooker, as detailed in the recipe below. And if you want to make this kid-friendly, you can just omit the rum and add more water.

    If you make these recipes, you can store the butter mixture in the refrigerator for about a week. (A 1/2 liter Weck jar is the perfect size!) The rum will keep indefinitely.

    I’m actually planning to making a large batch of hot buttered rum when we have friends over this fall.
