Warm Apple Spice Buttered Rum

This cocktail is one of our favorite ways to warm up during the holidays. It’s rich, cozy, and just sweet enough, with our Apple Butter adding that extra layer of flavor. It comes together quickly on the stove and fills the kitchen with the smell of apples and spice. Perfect for sipping by the fire, serving at a holiday gathering, or pairing with a cheese plate.
