From the Atlantic, a Hot Buttered Mix for Rum or Bourbon that sounds sinfully delicious.

Unless you’re really into having daily hot buttered drinks, this obviously makes a huge amount and would probably be too much to make for personal use, but it would be perfect for a wintery party.

Serve with pretty cinnamon sticks that double as stirrers, and maybe whipped cream if you want to get really fancy with a little sprinkling of nutmeg on top.

• 1/2 gallon of vanilla bean ice cream
• 1 pound butter
• 1 pound brown sugar
• 1 pound powdered sugar
