A good recipe for hot buttered rum is as follows:

	To 1/4 cup dark rum add:
	1 T butter,
	1-2 T powdered sugar.  Then pour in
	1/4 cup boiling water.  Sprinkle with
	Nutmeg.

I drank some great hot buttered rums at a country inn in Pennsylvania once.
Alas, I got the recipe by leaning over the bar and watching the bartender,
so I don't have exact proportions.  But it goes something like this:

Pour some brown sugar syrup (prepared by boiling together equal parts
brown sugar and water -- if you bottle it it keeps for a while) in a glass.
Add a dollop of white rum.
Pour in hot water to mostly fill the glass.
Drop in a lemon slice studded with four cloves.
Float some dark rum on top.
Put a pat of butter on top of the dark rum.
Stir with an extra-long cinammon stick.
Drink in front of the fireplace -- yum.
