Tinkering with a hot rum punch on a cold night in Florida. Inspired by the Flaming Rum Punch Clarence tries to order in It's a Wonderful Life and the much revered Godalming's Burnt Rum Punch that Renfield attributes to Arthur Holmwood's father in Stoker's novel Dracula. I think this iteration is pretty close to what I'll be bringing out on the Thanksgiving camping trip.

Hillsborough Hot Rum Punch (single serving)

• 3-4 oz very hot weak orange pekoe and cut black tea steeped with 3 whole cloves
• 0.75 oz cinnamon demerara simple syrup
• 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice and muddled peel to extract essential oils
• 1 oz Coruba Rum
• 0.25 oz Batavia Arrack
• 0.5 oz Cognac

Combine all ingredients except tea in a heat-proof mug. Add tea, stir, drink.

Hitting the spot on a 46 degree night — something us Florida folks aren't very used to.
