Had forgotten about this cocktail. As it is a cold (for San Diego, CA USA) standards and rainy this was a perfect evening cocktail. Used a Hamilton pot stilled Black Rum. A hefty knob of butter and it was delightful. Perfect to warm you up.

That's as difficult to quantify as a dash. However, a knob is generally accepted as being 2 to 3 teaspoons.

Another year or 3 has passed and this still is an excellent way to celebrate the holidays!

Being big rum drinkers and being Guy Fawkes night we made these with 18 year old Kirk & Sweeney with the cider. Outstanding.

Replacing the water with good dry hard cider makes all the difference. Wonderfully warming winter beverage.

Amateur in-home barkeep here. We especially enjoy this with the Bacardi 8 Años.
