What’s a better combo than PB&J? How about a Peanut Butter Whiskey combined with a jelly cocktail?

Today we bring you the Peanut Butter & Jelly Old Fashioned. It’s a mashup of childhood nostalgia and grown-up taste that works shockingly well together. This one is on the sweet side, so if that isn’t what you are into, sorry!

This Peanut Butter and Jelly cocktail recipe is refreshing with subtle hints of nuttiness and grape jelly.

Peanut Butter Whiskey

One of our favorite things to do as cocktail bloggers is to walk around the grocery store and look for all new products. The fall is an especially good time of year for this because every single company is trying to pumpkin spice us to death. Now, don’t get me wrong, we love pumpkin spice, but there are just some things we won’t eat!

In all fairness though, we hadn’t seen Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey in the stores yet before we started hearing all about it. We started hearing from friends asking us what we thought, to clients asking us to come out with cocktail recipes using it. Unfortunately, we hadn’t even tried it yet!

We finally got our hands on some peanut butter whiskey and set to work on a cocktail! We looked to our sons’ favorite treat for inspiration for a cocktail that is the spirit of a childhood staple: the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

While we used Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey in this cocktail, there are quite a few more Peanut Butter Whiskies out there now! Some of these include: Sheep Dog, Ole Smokey, Sqrrl, and Barrel & Banter.

Skrewball Whiskey

If you are looking at this post, you probably have a bottle of Skrewball at home and wondering what to do with it. Skrewball whiskey is a flavored whiskey that tastes like peanut butter, as are other peanut butter whiskies.

• Peanut butter Whiskey is flavored whiskey made with real peanuts. Skrewball was founded in 2018 by husband and wife Steven and Brittany Yeng, in San Diego, California.
• Skrewball is very sweet, with a peanut finish with notes of caramel, coffee and vanilla. It is more like a liqueur than a whiskey. It is also vegan, which makes it a great option!
• Is (any peanut butter whiskey) really a whiskey? Whiskey should be at least 40% ABV, and Skrewball is 35% ABV. This makes it closer to a liqueur, even though it is labeled as a “flavored whiskey.”
• Flavored Whiskey: while labeled a whiskey, with a basis of whiskey, it is sweet enough to be a liqueur. So, if you are using this type of product in a cocktail, know it will be sweeter than just using whiskey, or think about a split base in your cocktail, half whiskey, half of a peanut butter or flavored whiskey.

Grape Simple Syrup

We used homemade Concord grape syrup and the drink seems to be the adult version of the lunchbox favorite without. Of course, we didn’t want it being cloyingly sweet, but it is on the sweet side. So, we added some salt to the mix to take away all the sweet, but of course some is still there. This combo is the perfect combination, and a great way to end a meal.

Skrewball Cocktail Recipe

There’s something comforting and satisfying about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, right? The classic nutty and tart combo brings forth memories of school lunches, afternoon snacks, and learning to first assemble something in the kitchen, as we have taught our boys to do!

What Ingredients are Needed for the PB&J Cocktail?

• Peanut Butter Whiskey: Skrewball, or any other peanut butter whiskey brand.
• Salt: just a dash of salt in the shaker. Cuts down on the sweetness of this sweet drink.
• Jelly Simple Syrup: Easy to make, we used grape!

PB&J Cocktail

We hope you give this adult twist on a classic treat a try, and we love the pb & j flavors of this one very much. The peanut butter whiskey will be used many more times I am sure, so bring on some more fun cocktails for sure! This one, being an Old Fashioned, it’s super easy to make and so flavorful, but the whiskey is of course the adult flavor we were going with!

PB&J Garnish

This tiny PB&J sandwich is just the perfect addition to this cocktail. Emphasizes the Peanut Butter and Jelly cocktail recipe, as well as just being cute and a fun garnish that everyone will talk about! Make sure to use a skewer so that it doesn’t fall into your drink, as it will get soggy, but it’s the perfect talking point!

Just a quick tip: cut the bread before making the sandwich. Have your 2 halves and then put on the jelly and peanut butter. Much easier to make, we promise!

What to Mix with Peanut Butter Whiskey?

Here are a few ideas if you still need some ideas with what to do with your bottle of Peanut Butter Whiskey! If you just want a quick sip with 2 ingredients, here are some suggestions!

• Orange juice
• Hot Coffee or Cold brew
• Apple Cider (what a delish fall sip!)
• Cream Soda
• Bailey’s Irish Cream (do ingredients half and half as a shooter)
• Cola
• Root Beer
