Excellent with double butter and less sugar. Also added orange zest and was a hit.

I really liked this. I made it exactly as written. It was really sweet, but tasty. I do think that next time I will follow the recommendation of the other reviews and use more butter and less sugar. I think that would be better. I had never had Hot Buttered Rum before and I think that this was a nice, delicious introduction to this holiday treat.

Very lovely. Not heavy like an eggnog drink or even Bailey's, but still creamy tasting. Have never had a hot buttered rum before so I have nothing to compare it to. I am not a hard liquor drinker so I was worried about how rum would taste. I got a premium dark rum and was pleasantly surprised by the flavour of this warm treat. It's a very mellow tasting drink.I did as others have, using half the amount of sugar, and I halved the recipe. I also only used 1 TBSP of the rum. That's perhaps why I enjoyed the "mellow" flavour. The nutmeg sprinkle on top adds just a little touch of holiday flavour.

This is similar to the recipe I've used for thirty years. I use 1 pound of butter, 1 pound of each sugars and a quart of vanilla ice cream. I always add nutmeg after it's mixed for added flavor. The kids like it just mixed in either hot milk or water so it works for all ages!

I found the recipes to sweet so I added the whole half gallon of ice cream and added cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves to my taste. My husband said it tastes like a dessert.

This is by far the best Hot Buttered Rum mix I have ever had! I too, used 1 pound of butter. I like to add some of the nutmeg to the foam after mixing the drink together. It is delicious with vanilla rum as well. I added a shot of espresso too and it is like heaven in a cup! Enjoy!!

Yum! I think the ice cream has to be melted, because when I added the ice cream to the butter/sugar mixture when it was just softened, it froze up the butter. But just tried it with Captain Morgan and it's awesome!

Good recipe just as is. I cut the sugars in half and don't think it was as good as it would have been if I had followed the original recipe. Possible could cut the powdered sugar but definately don't decrease the brown sugar!
