Warm and delicious, this low carb, keto hot buttered rum mix is sure to impress. Just like the real thing but without all the carbs and sugar.
This Keto Hot Buttered Rum Mix is a must-try keto holiday recipe
This Keto Hot Buttered Rum recipe is a nod to my childhood. That may sound really strange given that it is an alcoholic beverage, but hear me out. Along with the hustle and bustle of family coming and going, feasting and opening presents, we had a couple of other Christmas traditions in our home. After the festivities had wound down for the evening, all the adults would gather around the table, play games and drink hot buttered rum. I was so excited when I was finally old enough to take part in the tradition. To this day, we still uphold this tradition.
If you have ever had a hot buttered rum, then you know that the batter contains A LOT of sugar. In an attempt to keep the holidays merry and bright without diving face first into a glass of sugar, I decided it was high time that I make my own low carb hot buttered rum batter. I hope that you enjoy it as much as we have. Do you have a family tradition that you have upheld for years and years? I would love to hear about it.

So it’s Friday night and you’re feeling alright. You’re ready to dance the night away with a cocktail in your hand. OR, if you are more like me, you want to have a cocktail at home with friends. But how do you know what to drink? What is the best alcohol for a low carb diet. Or what alcohol is lowest in carbs?
First, I'm going to break down the carbs in alcohol for you. Check out my Complete Guide to Carbs in Alcohol. If you're wondering… Can you have alcohol on a low carb diet? Is alcohol keto? You might be saying to yourself “But wait? I can’t! I’m low carb.” Well, you are NOT low carb. You're are a person following a low carb lifestyle. Do not be defined by your dietary decisions. Doing so will lead to a life of restriction and feeling restricted often causes us to stray from our intended path. Besides, who wants to pass up low carb gummy worms. Especially when they are boozy low carb gummy worms.

Delicious! I have frozen the batter in single serving portions to enjoy over the holidays. Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes!
Kandy says
Probably going to sound crazy but is there any way to use this without the rum? It sounds wonderful but I do not drink alcohol due to health reasons. Thanks for any input and all the recipes you create!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes, absolutely. You can just mix it with the hot water. It is also really great in coffee or tea
Robyn Salt says
I'm loving your recipes but living in Australia is hard to find similar ingredients. That's a bit frustrating but I'm managing.
Thank you so much
Dawn says
Robyn, you can buy the Walden Farms maple syrup or pancake syrup online from iherb. Reasonable prices and fast overseas delivery. And the swerve is just erythritol, which is also available on iherb, and you can powder it using a magic bullet, spice grinder or by hand. Alternatively, you can buy the Natvia Icing Mix at your local supermarket.

OMGEEEEEEE, before low carb way of living we tried something like this and it was so delicious. I just found this website and my husband was so excited when I said the words Hot Buttered Rum!
Christine Castaneda says
OMG Kyndra! This sounds amazing! Will be making this tomorrow night. Thanks and Happy Holidays! ????
Debbie Smith says
Thank you so much sharing this recipe. I made it last night, and we loved it! My husband said it was best hot buttered rum he had ever had, and I had to agree. Yummy! Yummy! Yummy
FYI - I followed your recipe exactly, but I just used Splenda to substitute for Swerve since I didn't have any Swerve, and it worked out well.
Thanks again!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
So happy you enjoyed it! We are loving it. I may just have to go make one right now 😉
Billie Crane says
I am going to make this!!!!! One of my favorite and I really thought I would never get it again!!
Cici says
It looks so frothy & emulsified! No blending required? Is that whipped cream on top in the photo?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
No blending required. Just a good stirring! That is not whipped cream, it is just some more of the batter on top with a little cinnamon and nutmeg.
Brad says
Never had a buttered rum. What spiced rum do you recommend?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I made it with Captain Morgans, which is less than 1 carb per serving. You can also just make it with a plain clear rum, like Bacardi
Nadine says
Looks yummy! Two quick questions - How long will this stay good in the fridge? What brand/kind of spiced rum do you use that's low carb? Thanks! ^_^
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I used Captain Morgans. It is less than 1 carb per serving. I would keep it in the fridge for up to a week and after that, transfer it to the freezer, where it can stay for up to 3 months or so.
