Cooking Lesson #436: Peanut Butter-Butterscotch Shooter

…from the California Happy Hour Bar

How you doin’? There’s less than a week until the end of Peanut Month, so we’ve got to squeeze in this libation before April comes roaring in.
 
I thought that I had made or at least knew everything there was to do with peanuts—oh, so wrong! I was thinking about peanut or peanut butter cocktails and recently discovered peanut butter whiskey! If you’ve been thinking of making cocktails with peanut butter and/or whiskey, here’s your chance. Actually, there are lists of peanut butter whiskey cocktails out there using Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey.
 
STOP THE PRESSES—Peanut butter and whiskey? No, Peanut Butter Whiskey. Why the heck not? This harmonious blend of disparate ingredients might seem a bit surprising, but it’s really a whole lot of delicious. A little salty, a little sweet, a little savory and always smooth, Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey is unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. It’s a perfect celebration of the unexpected… fun, wild and wonderful. These recipes run the gamut from classic flavors like the Peanut Butter & Jelly Cocktail to tantalizing takes on a favorite boozy beverage, the Peanut Butter Whiskey Sour.
 
When you combine the smooth, caramel-y undertones of peanut butter whiskey with the taste of butterscotch, you end up with a luscious libation that is far more than the sum of its parts.
