I just found a really delicious-looking recipe for hot buttered rum, and I'm wondering if it would be okay if I subbed lactose-free margarine for the butter and used about 1/2 of that and 1/2 the rum it calls for. What does everyone think? Would it be fairly safe, and do you think it would ruin the taste? I've never tried making substitutions in drinks before. Thanks! Here it is:

could you use a rum substitute for the cup of run you would be cutting out?
Also, mabye you could use 1/3c margarine instead of 1/2c...
Good Luck! Sorry I wasn't of more help... Shanna

That's a good idea. Maybe I could add a teensy bit of rum extract. And I'll definitely reduce the margarine. Thanks for your help, Shanna!

Hot buttered rum is really delicious...because of the rum and because of the butter! I don't know how you'd remove enough of these ingredients to keep the drink IBS-safe and still have it taste anything at all like the real thing.
The only thing I can think of is to sub soy milk for the rum, and add a bit of rum extract, plus a little butter-flavor extract (I've seen that in kitchen specialty shops, but haven't ever tried it). I don't know how this would end up tasting.
You could also try adding just a spoonful of real rum, or rum extract, so Silk Soynog. Wouldn't be hot buttered rum, but it would be really yummy.

Thanks, Heather. I actually noticed butter-flavored extract yesterday when I was looking at the rum extract, so I know my local supermarket carries it. Adding rum or rum extract to the Silk nog is a great idea, though! I might just do that instead. Thanks for your help!
