I usually make about a pint of this at a time and keep it in the fridge; when you want an after-dinner beverage, just scoop some into a mug with hot water and rum.
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 cups light brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
pinch ground cloves
pinch salt
Dark rum
boiling water
In a bowl, cream together butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves + salt.
Refrigerate until almost firm.
Spoon 2 Tbs of butter mixture into 12 small mugs.
Pour about 3oz of rum into each mug (filling ~halfway).
Top with boiling water.
