Cooking Lesson #989: Fluffernutter Whisky Old Fashioned

…from the Perspectives’ Happy Hour Bar

How you doin’? I love frou-frou drinks… the more complex, the better. Of course, if you were to ask any of our bartenders, they would tell you a different story. To them the easiest cocktail to pour is scotch on the rocks. But consenting adults do not live with simple cocktails alone. Sometimes you must live a little dangerously and try one of my official frou-frou libations. Now, the one pictured may be a little over the top but my Fluffernutter Whisky Old Fashioned is one cocktail that just hits the spot.

Super Bowl is this weekend. What better time is there to celebrate with an indulgent, all-American fun cocktail enriched with a little peanut flavor?

Prep time:  5 minutes
Yield:  1 cocktail

Ingredients
2 ounces American bourbon
1/4 ounce peanut butter syrup (I prefer Monin brand)
1/4 ounce toasted marshmallow syrup (I prefer Monin brand)
2 dashes chocolate bitters
1 ounce marshmallow fluff
 
Directions

1. Fill an old-fashioned glass with one extra-large ice cube.
2. Pour all the ingredients into mixing glass with 2/3 ice in order listed.
3. Stir or shake vigorously to chill.
4. Strain into an old-fashioned glass.
5. Using a butter knife smear the marshmallow fluff over the top time of the glass and serve.

ChefSecret: Monin flavored syrups can be found in liquor stores and on Amazon.  Plan ahead to make sure you have the ingredients you need for this cocktail. You can also add some chopped peanuts to the marshmallow rim for added flavor and fun.
 
Quip of the Day:  I pointed to two old drunks across the bar from us and told my mate, "That'll be us in ten years." He said, "That's a mirror, ya silly bugger."
