Hot Buttered Rum Ingredients
These simple hot buttered rum ingredients are elevated with the addition of caramel sauce and a little salt for a salted caramel delight. The ingredients for a hot buttered rum cocktail are:
- Dark Rum. The drink starts with the warm, spicy spirit of dark rum. Make sure you find a great dark rum, it is aged longer and has a richer flavor than light rum.
- Butter. It will melt beautifully when combined with hot water. Salted or unsalted butter will work for this recipe, and you may adjust your salt accordingly later in the recipe depending on how salty your butter is and your taste preference.
- Brown sugar. Adds just enough cozy sweetness.
- Hot water. Use water that is hot but not boiling. This is key for allowing the brown sugar and salt to dissolve without burning and for the ingredients to meld together well. The warmness makes the cocktail more delightful and cozy.
With the addition of your caramel sauce and kosher salt, your salted caramel hot buttered rum is ready for indulging.

Dark Rum vs Light Rum
This recipe specifically calls for dark rum. Dark rum possesses richer flavors of molasses and spice, making it the best option for this cozy beverage. Light rum tends to be sweeter, making it a better fit for drinks like the Bahama Mama and Daiquiri.
How to Serve
Serve your cocktail in a mug to protect your hands from the hot temperature. Serve while it’s hot for the best results. You can top each mug with whipped topping for a creamy addition if desired.
