Servings: 2
Equipment
- 2 Mugs 6-Ounce and Heatproof
Ingredients
- 1 ½ Tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter at room temperature
- Pinch ground nutmeg
- Pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 Cup pineapple juice heated through
- 2 Ounces dark rum spiced such as Kraken Black Spiced Rum
- 2 Teaspoons butterscotch schnapps such as DeKuyper Buttershots
- ½ Teaspoon vanilla extract
For Garnish
- 2 maraschino cherries
- 4 pineapple wedges ½-Inch thick
Instructions
- Preheat broiler to 500°F.
- Pat pineapple wedges dry with a paper towel. Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange wedges. Sprinkle with ½ tablespoon dark brown sugar. Rub the brown sugar onto each pineapple piece until coated evenly. Broil on the middle rack for 6 minutes or until caramelized. Allow to cool slightly.
- While the pineapple is cooling, combine softened butter, remaining dark brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Divide between two 6 ounce heat-proof mugs.
- Over butter, pour 4 ounces of the hot pineapple juice, 1 ounce spiced rum, 1 teaspoon butterscotch schnapps, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir to mix. Repeat for the other mug.
- Rest a flat sandwich pick across the mug’s rim to hold 2 stacked pieces of the caramelized pineapple. Top the pineapple with a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately.
Notes
Dry the pineapple thoroughly: This helps the sugar stick and caramelize evenly.
Use heat-proof mugs: These ensure the hot drink can be served safely without cracking.
Make the butter mix ahead: Store it in the fridge to speed things up when you’re ready to serve.
Add garnish just before serving: This keeps the pineapple and cherry looking and tasting fresh.
