Today we bring you the Peanut Butter & Jelly Old Fashioned. This easy recipe is a mashup of a childhood favorite with nostalgia and grown-up flavor that works shockingly well together. This unique cocktail is on the sweet side, so if that isn’t what you are into, don’t make this Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey drink!

This Peanut Butter and Jelly cocktail recipe is refreshing with subtle hints of nutty flavor and grape jelly. The main ingredients bring about thoughts of childhood days with a peanut butter sandwich! But, we have made it adult for your next party or happy hour!

 

Peanut Butter Whiskey

For a peanut butter lover, this  liqueur is a great choice, just like a lover of chocolate would love chocolate liqueur. But, a regular whiskey drinker will probably not like this sweet peanut butter whiskey cocktail.

 

We looked to our kids’ favorite creamy peanut butter for inspiration for a childhood staple: the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. These simple ingredients are always a tasty and sweet treat.

We used Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey in this cocktail, but there are quite a few more brands of Peanut Butter Whiskey! Couple suggestions are Sheep Dog and Ole Smokey.

 

Grape Simple Syrup

We made homemade Concord Grape syrup and this drink is the adult version of the lunchbox favorite. We didn’t want it to be cloyingly sweet, but the fruity flavor is on the sweet side. We added some salt to the mixing glass to take away some of the sweet. This PB & J drink is a great way to end a meal.

Try grapes in our Grape Moscow Mule and Roasted Grapes appetizer, as well!

 

 

Tips & Tricks

•  Garnish: This tiny PB&J sandwich is the perfect addition to this cocktail! Use a skewer so that it doesn’t fall into your drink, as it will get soggy. 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 to garnish your delicious recipes, we promise! If you don’t want to make a teeny sandwich here are some other suggestions: fresh strawberries, raspberries or grapes, or a Peanut Butter Cup. A cocktail cherry is also a great choice, like our brandied cherries or bourbon cherries!
• Glassware: a rocks glass is a classic Old Fashioned glass choice. And is easier to place a large ice ball in, too!
• Syrup Flavors: if you are wanting to try other flavors of syrup, please do! We used Concord Grape Jelly not Concord Grape Juice. You can, but it would be thinner. Some suggestions could be cranberry juice or jelly, brown sugar syrup, cherry jam, apricot jam, seedless raspberry or blackberry jelly, or strawberry jam. Just use in the same ratio as our Concord Grape Jelly Syrup for another jam or jelly. For a juice option, try making it with no water, just the juice with a dash of sugar and cook it down until slightly thicker and less liquid.
• Liqueur substituted for Syrup: if you want to use a liqueur instead of the Grape Jelly syrup, Chambord (black raspberry liqueur) would be a great idea! 

 

Try out jam in our Green Tomato Jam or Gin & Jam cocktail, too!

 

Cheers!
