Hot Buttered Rum is one of America's oldest hot cocktails and its origins date back to the 18th century. The emergence of this cocktail dates back to the colonial period in America and the rum trade. At that time, rum had become a very common drink in America, especially thanks to the trade with the Caribbean.

During the cold winter months, people mixed rum with hot drinks to make it more drinkable. By adding butter, sugar and spices, a drink that both energized and warmed was prepared. Over time, this mixture became known as Hot Buttered Rum.
