We are chugging along here and today is day four of the twelve days of Christmas. Now, you're going to be chugging, or sipping, these Hot Buttered Rum cocktails all weekend long!
These cocktails are seriously Christmas in a cup. I would even make the claim that they are BETTER than the classic rum and eggnog...
They are the perfect cozy adult holiday drink that everyone will love, and can even be easily gifted to your friends and families for them to enjoy in their own homes!
