Punch, Toddy, Grog & Co. – Part 13: Hot Spiced Rum

Hot Buttered Rum - Titelbild.

Besides Hot Buttered Rum, which we analysed in the previous post in this series, there are recipes called Hot Spiced Rum. Here we look at whether the two differ from each other.

Jerry Thomas already knew about Hot Spiced Rum in 1862. We have already taken a closer look at the Hot Buttered Rum, and so we must also turn our attention to the Hot Spiced Rum. How do the two differ?

As always, answering this question requires an analysis of the historical recipes. For the purposes of this series, we always consider rum and whiskey as the base spirit. We had established that there was no such thing as hot buttered whiskey. The same applies in principle to Hot Spiced Rum. It is true that between 1900 and 1919 we found a total of nine recipes for a Hot Spiced Whiskey, eight of which correspond to a Classic Spiced Punch with Butter and one to a Classic Spiced Toddy with Butter. But as the following diagram shows, these finds are a negligible number. Therefore, it is fair to say that there was practically only Hot Spiced Rum.Hot Spiced Rum and Hot Spiced Whiskey.

Hot Spiced Rum and Hot Spiced Whiskey.But what is a Hot Spiced Rum? Let’s remember: We had established that by a Hot Buttered Rum one must understand a Hot Toddy that is refined with butter. As you can see from the analysis of Hot Spiced Rum, it was initially nothing other than a Hot Buttered Rum. Occasionally, it was understood to be simply a Hot Rum-Toddy, a little more often a Hot Rum-Punch or even something completely different.

Hot Spiced Rum.

We must always bear in mind that a Hot Spiced Rum was not often published; for example, in the chart above, the 100 per cent between 1960 and 1999 corresponds to only two recipes!
But regardless of this, we can clearly state that Hot Spiced Rum (and correspondingly Hot Spiced Whiskey) is not a category in its own right. They mostly correspond to a Toddy, rarely to a Punch or anything else.There is not much more to say. In the next post, we will then devote ourselves to those recipes that are called Hot Rum and Hot Whiskey.

While not
strictly a Grog because it is both sweetened and spiced,
this may be as good a place as any to mention Hot
Spiced Rum. Any place that it might be mentioned, to
me, would be out of place. Hot liquors have a number
of definite medicinal uses. They are excellent to warm
up on after exposure to cold (see page 192). Taken
upon retiring, they are excellent diaphoretics and
hypnotics — that is, they promote both perspiration
and sleep. With one or two exceptions, such as the
Tom and Jerry, however, their use should, in my
opinion, be strictly limited to medicinal purposes. How
anyone can possibly consume them for pleasure is
utterly beyond me. And, of all the hot liquors, I regard
Buttered Rum as the worst. The Hot Spiced Rum
without the butter is bad enough, but the lump of
butter is the final insult. It blends with the hot rum
just about as satisfactorily as warm olive oil blends
with champagne! I believe that the drinking of Hot
Buttered Rum should be permitted only in the North
west Passage and, even there, only by highly imagina-
tive and overenthusiastic novelists. However, just as a
curiosity, here is the recipe:

1 jigger Jamaica or New England Rum
1 teaspoonful Sugar Syrup
Spices to taste
1 small lump Butter
Hot Water

Stir rum and sugar in mug or Highball glass. Fill with
hot water, add spices, float butter on top, and stir
gently until butter is dissolved. Some recipes call only
for a few whole cloves, others call for 1/2 teaspoonful
mixed ground spices — cloves, allspice, mace, etc. Fre-
quently a little ground cinnamon or nutmeg is dusted
over the top when the drink is served.
The above is the usual recipe. Trader Vic, in his ex-
cellent Book of Food and Drink, a copy of which
should be in the hands of every true gourmet, recom-
mends that the sugar (brown) and butter be first
thoroughly creamed together with the spices and that
the hot water and rum be added to this batter and
stirred well. He has even prepared a ready-mixed
batter for the market and it is excellent. This un-
questionably makes a much better drink than the
usual formula given above. As medicine, it is not too
bad, but, to me, it is still definitely and solely a medic-
inal drink.

About

Hi, I'm Armin and in my spare time I want to promote bar culture as a blogger, freelance journalist and Bildungstrinker (you want to know what the latter is? Then check out "About us"). My focus is on researching the history of mixed drinks. If I have ever left out a source you know of, and you think it should be considered, I look forward to hearing about it from you to learn something new. English is not my first language, but I hope that the translated texts are easy to understand. If there is any incomprehensibility, please let me know so that I can improve it.
