ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ cups apple cider or 1 1/2 cups water, plus
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon allspice berry
¹⁄₂ teaspoon whole cloves
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground ginger
³⁄₄ cup Bourbon
NUTMEG BUTTER (use 2 slices)
8 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
¹⁄₄ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¹⁄₂ teaspoon confectioners' sugar (icing sugar)

directions

In a small saucepan, combine the cider, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and ginger and place over low heat.
Cook at a simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in the bourbon and bring back to a simmer; immediately remove from the heat.
Pour into 2 warmed mugs and top each with a slice of Nutmeg Butter.
NUTMEG BUTTER (makes about 16 servings):
Put all ingredients in a small bowl and stir with a rubber spatula to combine.
Place the butter mixture on a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap and shape into a log about the size of the original stick of butter.
Chill in the freezer for about 30 minutes, until firm but not frozen hard.
Slice into 1/4-inch rounds (about 1/2 teaspoon) to use in buttered drinks.
The butter will keep, frozen and tightly wrapped for at least a month; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing it. It will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.

This was great! Zippy and delicious. I only made the amount of butter I needed for the drinks. Quite good. Thanks for sharing!
