Smoked Buttered Rum

I first tasted hot buttered rum at a neighbor’s holiday party long before I was of legal drinking age. So warm and delicious, it is, for me, an essential part of the holiday season. Since we’re always looking for ways to take advantage of our smoker at B-Side BBQ, we decided to smoke the butter. That light hint of applewood and hickory turns out to be the ideal counterpoint for the sweetness of the rum.
