DECEMBER 19: Authentic Seacoast Distillery Hot Buttered Spiced Rum Recipe (ft. Sea Fever™ Spiced Rum)
Cozy up this holiday season with a classic Hot Buttered Spiced Rum made with Authentic Seacoast’s popular Sea Fever™ Spiced Rum.
Winter can be a hard season in the Maritimes. These cold months require something with a bit more character in your glass. For centuries, the hot buttered rum has been the winter warmer of choice for those living in our northern climes. It’s a drink that not only warms the body, but the soul. Authentic Seacoast’s Sea Fever™ Spiced Rum adds the perfect touch of all your favourite winter spices and sweet aromas for hibernation season that elevates this classic beverage to a whole new (sea) level. Cheers and happy holidays from Authentic Seacoast to you and yours!
