For a deeper, more complex flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular softened butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly before incorporating it into the mix. Experiment with different types of rum to find your favorite flavor profile. Dark rum provides a richer, molasses-like flavor, while spiced rum adds an extra layer of warmth and complexity. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can easily create your own blend by combining equal parts of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute 1/2 cup of hot, strong coffee or tea for the rum and boiling water.

Oct 25, 2024The orange peel really brightens up the flavor. I also like to add a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness.
