Day 17: Hot Buttered Rum

Hot Buttered Rum is gross. Let's just be honest. You don't believe me? Watch this:

After I stopped taping, Alex said "It tastes like I just ate a condom." I am not sure exactly how he knows that, but I have to agree. The butter component of the drink leaves a plasticy layer on the tongue, and nobody knows why rum is supposed to mix well with cider. It is certainly a weird combination, which apparently dates back to colonial times. Maybe they just had nothing else to drink (read:beer)


It certainly was a pretty drink.We got it at our neighborhood bar, The Gladstone Street Pub. At least there was beer to wash away the plastic residue.
