butterbeer rum martini

When we were last at universal studios; a cast member gave us a gentle nudge toward ordering a butterbeer and then purchasing a shot on the side. Totally upped the butterbeer game.

So while not frozen, and not entirely butterbeer per say, this butterbeer martini is definitely inspired by.

Ingredients:

1/2 Tbsp butterscotch

1/2 cup butter

1 cup light brown sugar

2 tsp maldon salt

1 cup cream

1 tsp vanilla bean paste

cinnamon sugar

2 oz rum

2 oz hard apple cider

cream soda

Directions:

Melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar, salt, cream and vanilla.

Whisk to combine and bring to a boil. Stirring consistently to prevent burning.

Continue for 2 minutes after boiling.

Remove from heat.

Dip martini glasses in butterscotch, and then roll in cinnamon sugar.

Add 1/2 T butter scotch to bottom of glass.

Add rum and cider to a shaker. Top with ice. Shake until chilled. Pour into glass.

Top with cream soda.
