Hot Rum-and-Pineapple Toddies
Scott Beattie, Everyday With Rachel Ray, March 2010
(Makes 4)
1 cup pineapple juice
3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup dark rum
In a small saucepan, bring the pineapple juice , 2 tablespoons maple syrup, the lemon juice and cinnamon stick to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes; remove from the heat.
Meanwhile in a medium bowl, beat the cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup until soft peaks form.
Divide the pineapple-maple mixture among 4 small teacups or mugs. Discard the cinnamon stick. Add 1/4 cup rum to each cup; top with the maple whipped cream.
Notes/Results: Oh yeah...that warms the throat and right on down! The pineapple juice (I used fresh,100% juice) and the maple syrup make it rich and sweet and are perfect with the dark rum. It's an easy drink to make, is quite delicious and packs a punch--probably the reason for the small serving sizes. I would make this again.
Happy Saturday! I am headed out early to the farmers market and then to a vegetarian pressure cooking class--time to stop being chicken and learn to use my pressure cooker! ;-)
What are you doing today?
could've used something like this today, the cold is back!
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what I need to deal with my cold right now!
ReplyDeleteOh Deb! You had me at rum!! I am definately making this tonight!
ReplyDeletePineapples are one of my favorite fruits! Or were. Until I started being allergic to them. I miss my pineapple-eating-days and this is a prime example of why! Sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteWow, I need this drink before I have to go start shoveling again!
ReplyDeleteLooks so soothing and delicious, and I love the mug.
omg This looks beautiful. I'm not even a rum fan and want to give this a try. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDeb, your Hot Rum would be a huge hit back here on the East Coast during our "winter that will not leave". And the addition of a pineapple stirrer makes it even more of a warming welcome. Thanks for a great winter sipper...
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting and refreshing sipper, Deb. We are going to a hellebore garden open house today and will have a few friends come back home with us for cake and...Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds both unique and delicious. I don't think I could pass up the maple whipped cream though (maple is a total weakness for me). I bet you had a lovely time at the farmer's market. Hopefully you'll post about your vegetarian pressure cooking class!
ReplyDeleteI did some specialty food shopping in Lexington today. Tyler's recipes had me running all over the place.
Lovely toddies with tropical flavors!
ReplyDeleteok, so if i had two cocktails in as many days...is that bad? LOL. This sounds really good...especially the maple whipped cream. I think we're suppose to get some rain this weekend. I'm just gonna have to give this a try, now aren't I?
