As the colder nights are approaching, why not try one of these autumn warmer cocktails with your Black Middens Rum?
Hot Buttered Rum
This warming drink, popular within the USA, can be made easily at home as a warming treat on cold evenings. Combine the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl, then gradually pour in the rum and melted butter, and stir together. Evenly divide the mixture between two small mugs or heatproof glasses. Top each with 100ml boiling water and stir well. Serve with a cinnamon stick to garnish.

- 1 tbsp soft light brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 100ml dark rum
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 cinnamon sticks to serve
Hot Milk Punch
Why not try a warm milk drink with a kick for those cooler autumn evenings to help with a good nights sleep. Add the milk to a saucepan and set on medium heat. Stir in the honey and turmeric powder as the milk warms up. Remove the milk from the heat just before it reaches boiling temperature. Pour the milk into a serving mug and add the rum. Enjoy immediately, as reheating may make the alcohol in the rum evaporate.

- 300 ml whole milk
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/3 tsp turmeric powder
- 50ml rum
