Hot Rum.

(Use medium bar-glass, hot.)

  • Take 1 small tea-spoonful of powdered sugar.
  • Take 1 wine-glass Jamaica rum.
  • Take 1 piece of sweet butter, as large as half a chestnut.

Dissolve the sugar in a little boiling water, add the rum and butter, fill the glass two-thirds full of boiling water, stir, grate a little nutmeg on top, and serve.
