2. Prepare the Spiced Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the unsalted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Stir continuously until the butter is fully melted and the sugar has dissolved, creating a smooth and spiced mixture.
3. Mix the Coffee and Rum: In a large heatproof pitcher or bowl, combine the brewed coffee and dark rum. Stir well to confirm the rum is evenly distributed throughout the coffee.
4. Incorporate the Spiced Butter: Slowly pour the spiced butter mixture into the coffee and rum, stirring continuously to blend all the ingredients together. Confirm the spiced butter is evenly mixed for a consistent flavor throughout.
5. Serve: Pour the Hot Buttered Rum Coffee into mugs, leaving some space at the top for your choice of garnish. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
6. Garnish and Enjoy: Optionally, sprinkle a little extra ground cinnamon on top of the whipped cream or add a cinnamon stick for garnish. Serve immediately while hot.

Extra Tips: When preparing Hot Buttered Rum Coffee, confirm all ingredients are fresh for the best flavor. Adjust the rum quantity to your preference if you’d like a stronger or milder kick.

For a non-alcoholic version, consider substituting the rum with a splash of rum extract or simply omitting it for a buttery spiced coffee. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more brown sugar to taste. Experiment with different coffee blends to find the perfect match for your taste.
