If you’re looking for a few ways to change this drink up, try a few of these out:

• Switch up the Coke. Instead of using regular Coke, use a vanilla Coke, diet Coke or Coke zero. You could also use caffeine free Coke or another flavored Coke such as Cherry Coke.
• Change brands of whiskey. We used Skytterbrain. However, there are a large variety of different peanut butter whiskeys. In fact, skrewball is one of the most popular.
• Make your own peanut butter whiskey. This can be a little labor intensive, it involves roasting peanuts, smashing them into a paste, removing oil and then letting the paste infuse in your whiskey for upwards of a week. However, the result is super yummy.
