Peanut Butter And Jelly Shot Recipe

Ever wondered what your childhood favorite sandwich would taste like in a shot glass? Buckle up, because this Peanut Butter and Jelly Shot is about to take you on a nostalgic taste trip with a boozy twist!

Creating recipes that evoke the flavors of my childhood is what I love most. My Peanut Butter And Jelly Shot is a prime example.

It combines the rich, nutty taste of peanut butter whiskey with sweet, fruity raspberry liqueur in a way that makes the pairing just work—like the classic sandwich, it’s almost an irresistible combination. Both of these liqueurs fit perfectly in such a creation, and they were made to be together, taste-wise.

Peanut Butter And Jelly Shot Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Peanut butter whiskey substitute: Use bourbon or normal whiskey mixed with a splash of syrup (like hazelnut) that is flavored with nuts to get the peanut butter flavor.
Raspberry liqueur substitute: Blend cranberry juice with a hint of lemon juice or raspberry syrup for a similarly flavored substitute.
If you don’t have creamy peanut butter, you can use almond butter or cashew butter instead; they’re pretty tasty too. And while we’re maintaining a somewhat nutty profile, allow me to suggest some other options.
Substituting fresh raspberries: Get the same fruit-fresh effect using fresh strawberries or blueberries as an alternate garnish.

Pro Tips

1. Chill Your Ingredients Before starting, consider chilling the peanut butter whiskey and raspberry liqueur in the fridge for an hour. This will enhance the overall chill of the shot and improve the drinking experience.

2. Use Fresh Ice Always use fresh, clean ice for shaking to avoid any unwanted odors or flavors that might have been absorbed by stored ice.

3. Softened Peanut Butter If you’re rimming the shot glass with peanut butter, slightly soften it by warming for a few seconds in the microwave. This makes it easier to apply a smooth, even layer on the rim.

4. Strain with a Fine Mesh After shaking, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the shot glass to remove any small ice shards for a smoother shot.

5. Experiment with Proportions Depending on your taste preference, try adjusting the ratio of peanut butter whiskey to raspberry liqueur. Some may prefer a more pronounced peanut butter flavor or a sweeter, fruitier shot.
