Hot Butterbeer Cocktail
Based on the classic hot buttered rum, this cocktail gets its richness from a saucepan of homemade butterscotch. Don't be intimidated by the process—it's easier than you think. When blended with seltzer, the sweet sauce magically bubbles up into a warming concoction you'll want to drink all winter long.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Melt butter in a small (1-quart) heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add brown sugar; bring to a simmer, whisking constantly until the texture goes from the consistency of wet sand to smooth and slightly lighter in color.

  • Whisk in cream; continue to cook, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove from heat; whisk in vanilla and salt.

  • Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, warm whiskey (or bourbon) and seltzer just until simmering. Whisk into the butterscotch mixture and watch the drink magically bubble and foam.

  • Divide between 4 heatproof glasses and serve immediately.

Tips

Tip: If you prefer your drink less sweet, you can reduce the sugar to 1/3 or 1/4 cup.
