Drinks as They Are Mixed by Paul E. Lowe (1904, p.67) — Lowe 1904
| Jamaica rum — rum | base | |
| 1 whole | Sugar cube — sugar | base |
| water — hot water | dilution | |
| 1 walnut-size piece | Butter — butter | other |
| nutmeg — nutmeg | other |
- Dissolve the sugar in hot water in a tumbler.
- Add the rum, top with more hot water, float a walnut-sized piece of butter, and finish with nutmeg.
Garnish: Nutmeg
- Nose
- Warm butter, nutmeg, and rum spice rise together.
- Palate
- This is useful because it preserves the buttered-rum branch as a distinct hot-service tradition rather than treating it as merely a flavoured Hot Rum.
- Finish
- The finish is rich, warming, and spiced.
- Summary
- A compact hot buttered-rum service from the warming branch.
