Prepare to Celebrate National Hot Buttered Rum Day!

Celebrate National Hot Buttered Rum Day this January 17^th with a luscious cocktail from Ron Abuelo, a dark oak-aged rum from Panama. Their Hot Caramel Buttered Rum drink, which combines the smooth Ron Abuelo Añejo rum and Van Gogh’s sinfully delicious Dutch Caramel Vodka with butter, honey, and spices, is a decadent treat worth sipping on this holiday.

Those looking for a new twist on this traditional winter cocktail can try the Orange Spiced Cider. Created by the nation’s first tea sommelier, James Labe, this warm cocktail is a blend of Numi Orange Spice Tea, apple cider, and Ron Abuelo Añejo rum, which lends its subtle spicy flavor to the drink. The super premium aged rum adds depth and layers of flavor to the tea for a purely satisfying winter warmer.
