Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces Bourbon you can use smooth bourbon
- 1/2 ounce Peanut Butter Whiskey
- 1/2 ounce Crème de Cacao or Chocolate-flavor Whiskey
- 2 dashes Chocolate Bitters
- 1 dash Cherry Bark Vanilla Bitters optional
- Reese’s Peanut Butter for garnish
Instructions
- Chill Your Glass:
- Begin by placing an Old Fashioned glass in the freezer to chill while you prepare your drink.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, peanut butter whiskey, crème de cacao (or chocolate whiskey), chocolate bitters, and cherry bark vanilla bitters if using.
- Fill the mixing glass with ice, reaching about three-quarters full.
- Stir Well:
- Stir the mixture gently yet thoroughly for about 30 seconds. This method ensures that your drink is well-chilled and slightly diluted, smoothing out the strong flavors.
- Prepare the Glass:
- Remove the Old Fashioned glass from the freezer.
- Optionally, you can rub a small amount of peanut butter on the rim or add a thin layer at the bottom of the glass for an extra peanut butter flavor.
- Strain the Drink:
- Strain the cocktail into the chilled Old Fashioned glass over a large ice cube. A large cube melts slower, keeping your drink cool without diluting it too quickly.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. You can place it on the rim of the glass or on a small skewer.
- Optionally, add a small drizzle of melted peanut butter over the top for a dramatic effect.
