How Can I make a large batch?
Y’all, this is such a great recipe for holiday entertaining! To make enough buttered rum for a big group, you’ll need to bust out your trusty slow cooker.
From there, here’s all you’ll need to do:
- Place all of the base ingredients in the slow cooker (or crock pot) and turn up the heat on high for an hour.
- Add 3-6 cups of your choice of rum. I know, this sounds like a lot but it’s mostly up to your discretion. This recipe serves 24 people, about an 8 ounce mug per person. Each serving should contain 1 ⅓- 2 ounces of rum. Adjust the measurement according to your own needs/taste.
- Fill the remaining space in the crockpot with boiling water, then set the pot to warm.
- Keep fresh whipped cream and ground nutmeg or cinnamon to the side of the pot. Serve glasses individually and top as desired!
