Hot Buttered Booze - My Ketogenic Kitchen

This beverage, my pals, is kind of the vacation delight. It’s sizzling and steamy, spicy and creamy, and spiked with an excellent shot of your favourite liquor. Hot Buttered Booze is a low-carb and keto pleasant means for the exhausted individuals (particularly dad and mom!) to settle in on Christmas night- after all of the presents have been opened, the feast has been eaten, and any littles round have gone to bed- and unwind from all of the festivities.

Notes: This is basically a fatty alcoholic beverage, much like fatty blended espresso however with booze. If you’re dairy-free, you’ll be able to swap the butter out for ghee, coconut oil, or mct oil. The taste could change a bit, however it can nonetheless be pleasant.

As for the booze a part of this recipe, I’ve made this with bourbon and rum, and it was fantastic each methods. This is extra of a private style factor, and usually I’d say go bourbon all the way in which as a result of that’s my sipping alcohol of desire. However, after I made this drink with an excellent high quality rum (Appleton Estates 12 yr uncommon cask rum), the flavour was simply out of this world. This specific rum had an excellent bit in the way in which of vanilla and banana notes to it, and it complemented the buttery spices simply superbly.

If you do select a rum, my solely warning is to get a straight up white, amber, or darkish rum, and keep away from all spiced or flavored rums. The latter two classes are fairly universally backsweetened, which suggests they add sugar to it after fermentation. That’s clearly a no. Because they really have laws in opposition to including sugar to their rum, that which is distilled and bottled at one of many numerous distilleries in each Barbados and Jamaica has no added sugar, in order that’s a useful tidbit to know if you’re buying.
