1.5 oz Creme de Cocoa

Suggested Liquor Brands and Substitutions

Peanut butter whiskey is the backbone of this cocktail, so choosing a good one matters. You want something smooth that blends well with chocolate.

Here are some great options:

If you need substitutions:

Each variation will shift the texture slightly, but the core peanut butter chocolate flavor will remain.

Equipment and Glassware

You do not need anything fancy to pull off this Reese’s Egg Martini. Basic bar tools will do the trick.

How to Make It

This cocktail comes together quickly. The key is shaking well to fully blend the sauces and milk into a smooth, creamy drink.

Garnish with a Reese’s Egg horizontally on the side of the glass and serve

Shake hard to ensure the sauces fully incorporate. This keeps the drink smooth rather than streaky.
