Whip cream. Set aside

Beat butter, sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg with a mixer on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute. Blend in vanilla and whipped cream. Beat well until thickened, almost stiff.

Combine 2 tablespoons spiced butter with 1 1/2 ounces dark rum in each of 4 heatproof glasses. Pour 3/4 cup boiling water over each, and stir.

Yield: Serves 8

MJF: I prefer the liquor be a brandy/bourbon mix. To keep the rum flavor I beat in 2 or 3 oz of Myers Rum right after the cream and beat well. Worked pretty well. Recipe from Wine Enthusiast suggests replacing some sugar with molasses. Try.
