Happy Holidays!
Hi Everyone,
It's that wonderful time of year to embrace the joys of family, friends, and the warmth of shared memories.
We've had a fantastic time this year, and I have you to thank for that. Your engagement, stories, and the energy you bring to the hunt for the holy grail of automated trading strategies are a constant source of inspiration.
In the true spirit of the holidays, I wanted to share some holiday cheer:
Celan’s recipe for making hot spiced rum (Note: This tastes just as good without the rum.)
Individual Cocktail Ingredients (Single Serving):
2 ounces (1/4 cup) dark rum
2 tablespoons spiced butter batter
6 to 8 ounces boiling water
optional: cinnamon stick or star anise, for garnish
Spiced Butter Batter Ingredients (32 servings):
2 cups vanilla ice cream, lightly softened
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened to room temperature
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup white granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Batter: Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until evenly combined and smooth. Freeze the batter until ready to use.
Mix the cocktail: Briefly stir together the rum and 2 tablespoons of the spiced rum batter in a heat-safe mug. Add your boiling water and stir until the batter is melted and evenly combined.
Serve warm and enjoy! We always do.
