Peanut Butter Espresso Martini: A Twist on the Classic

This delish Peanut Butter Espresso Martini throws a twist into one of our favorite cocktails right now. It’s made with peanut butter whiskey, coffee liqueur, and fresh brewed espresso.

The first time I had a Peanut Butter Espresso Martini was at a small, dimly-lit bar in Los Angeles, known for its inventive cocktails. I was skeptical at first – peanut butter in a cocktail? But one sip and I was hooked.

If you haven’t had a peanut butter whiskey yet, you’re in for a treat. We have two favorites, Skrewball Whiskey and Ole Smoky Peanut Butter Whiskey. They both have a genuine peanut butter flavor that’s somehow creamy and bold at the same time. We use them in a ton of cocktail now, like this PB&J cocktail.

The creamy richness of peanut butter fused with the robust kick of espresso creates a symphony of flavors that is simply irresistible.

How to Make A Peanut Butter Espresso Martini

Step 1: Brew the espresso

Start by brewing your espresso. Freshly brewed espresso is key to capturing the rich coffee flavor that balances the sweetness of the whiskey.

Step 2: Combine ingredients in shaker

In a cocktail shaker, combine the Peanut Butter Whiskey, coffee liqueur, and freshly brewed espresso. The whiskey is the star here – its smooth, peanut butter flavor is the perfect match for the bitter espresso.

Add ice to the shaker. Then, shake vigorously. This not only chills the drink but also adds a slight frothiness, making the martini look as good as it tastes.

Step 3: Strain into glass

Strain the mixture into a martini glass. The smooth, velvety liquid should pour out like silk.

Garnish with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts and three espresso beans. They add a touch of elegance and a subtle nod to the espresso within.

I’ll give you another secret ingredient – vanilla! Add just a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla syrup to the mix and you’ll have an even more flavorful, delicious cocktail.

What is Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey?

Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey is a game-changer in the world of flavored spirits. It’s a smooth whiskey that perfectly captures the creamy, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor of peanut butter. Unlike other flavored whiskeys, Skrewball is not overly sweet. It has a balanced flavor that makes it versatile for cocktails, especially ones that call for a unique twist.

This Peanut Butter Espresso Martini is not just a drink; it’s an experience. It’s perfect for a cozy night in, a dinner party with friends, or anytime you crave a cocktail that’s a little out of the ordinary. The combination of peanut butter and espresso might sound unusual, but trust me, it works incredibly well. Give it a try, you’ll love it and you might just find your new favorite cocktail. Cheers!
