Let’s mix it up!

What You’ll Need:

  • 2 oz vodka

  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • 1 oz heavy cream or milk
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: Crushed peanuts or a drizzle of peanut butter for garnish

Pro Tips:

  1. Blend the peanut butter into the cream or milk before pouring it into the glass for a smooth, creamy texture.
  2. Use whole milk or heavy cream for the richest flavor.

Tools You’ll Need:

  • Rocks glass
  • Small whisk or blender (to mix the peanut butter and cream)

Substitutions & Variations:

  • No peanut butter? Use peanut butter powder or a flavored peanut butter liqueur instead.
  • Want it dairy-free? Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut cream for a creamy alternative.
  • Feeling fancy? Add a pinch of cocoa powder for a peanut butter cup vibe!
