While the batter is fine for a large amount or if you'll be making it often through the season, sometimes you want to make just a drink or two.

From the Esquire drink book (1956):
Combine 1.5 oz gold rum, 3/4 teaspoon brown sugar, 1 stick cinnamon, 1 clove, 1 pat butter in hot whiskey glass (or tiki mug). Fill with boiling water, sprinkle with allspice.

From the Playboy's Bar book (1971):
Put 2 cloves, 2 whole allspice, 1 cinnamon stick (1 inch long), and 1 teaspoon sugar into a mug (tiki or skull) with a tablespoon or 2 of boiling water. Let stand 5 minutes. Add 1.5 oz. hot light rum and 0.5 oz. hot dark Jamaican rum, 2 oz. boiling water, and 1 teaspoon sweet butter. Stir until butter dissolves. Add more sugar if desired.
