There’s nothing quite like an official day dedicated to drinking. It removes any guilt from an early afternoon (or late morning) cocktail on the weekend. And we’ve got a great one on Saturday with Hot Buttered Rum Day!
Most of the country has experienced exceptional cold this year, and we’re in the dead of winter now. So a mug full of Hot Buttered Rum is the perfect treat for a chilly Saturday. If you’ve never had one, what better time to give it a try? It’s a company favorite that the boss often whips up on snowy afternoons. They’re absolutely delectable. Trust me.
