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. Alan Berenbaum houxk!adb BTL HO2M-333 201-949-0071
