Peanut Butter and Jelly Shot

This peanut butter and jelly shot, sometimes called simply a PB&J shot, is a super easy to ingredient cocktail. This one will give you a throwback to your favorite childhood sandwich.

What is a Peanut Butter and Jelly Shot?

A peanut butter and jelly shot is a combination of peanut butter whiskey and Chambord. Not surprisingly it tastes much like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a little bit of a whiskey bite. The sweet jelly flavor lingers as it goes down.

Peanut butter whiskey is a sweet, nutty and salty flavored whiskey. It is an extremely smooth liqueur. It contributes the nutty and salty flavor to this drink.

Chambord is a dark purplish liqueur which tastes like black raspberries. It contributes the sweet jelly-like flavor to this drink.

When to Make This Drink:

With how easy it is to make and it’s sweet nostalgic flavor, this shot is suitable for occasions such as:

• afternoon brunch
• after dinner drinks
• barbecues
• informal get togethers

Variations:

Despite the fact that you only need two ingredients for the shot, there are actually several ways you can change out the ingredients, but keep the same great flavor. Try a few of these ideas out:

• Use frangelico. If you’d like a slightly lower alcohol content shot, try out frangelico in place of the peanut butter whiskey. You’ll still get that nutty flavor.
• Use amaretto. You can also substitute amaretto for peanut butter whiskey. It won’t have quite the same strong peanut flavor, but it does still have a nutty taste.
• Make it a full cocktail. Double the amounts of each ingredient and serve in a rocks glass to sip on instead of knocking it back as a shot.
• Shake it. Instead of creating a layered shot, pop your ingredients together in the cocktail shaker and shake them up.
• Change out the jelly flavor. Replace the chamboard for grape schnapps strawberry flavored liqueur if you want to have a different flavored jelly.

Some other peanut butter flavored cocktails are: peanut butter cup shots, peanut butter cup martini and the peanut butter white russian.
