Hot Buttered Rum traces its roots to colonial America, where early settlers began blending Caribbean rum with hot water, spices, and butter as a warming winter tonic. The drink gained popularity in taverns during the 18th century, especially in New England, where molasses-rich rum was abundant thanks to the Triangle Trade. Over time, it evolved into the cozy, indulgent cocktail we know today—rich, spiced, and deeply nostalgic. Sipped fireside, it evokes a sense of old-world comfort and holiday cheer, a timeless remedy for cold nights and long stories.
