🥃 What is a Salty Nuts Shot?

A salty nut shot is a combination of frangelico, RumChata and peanut butter whiskey shaken together and served in a shot glass that is rimmed with crushed peanuts. This creamy looking shot has a little bit of a sweet cinnamon flavor that quickly smooths into a salty peanut butter flavor. It tastes sort of like the milk after eating Reese’s peanut butter puff cereal.

📖 Variations

If you’re looking to get a little creative or just change things up, here are a few ingredient changes and flavor variations you can try:

• Substitute the RumChata. Instead of using RumChata, you can use clean heavy cream or half and half. This still in parts a nice sweet creamy flavor, but takes a little of the cinnamon kick out.
• Add in butterscotch schnapps. Some recipes for this drink call for butterscotch schnapps instead of peanut butter whiskey. This drink will have a sweeter butterscotch flavor if you do this substitution and less of the peanut flavor.
• Substitute the peanut butter whiskey. Keep the peanut butter flavor and alcohol content, but use peanut butter vodka instead of the whiskey.
• Use actual peanut butter. Add a teaspoon of peanut butter to this drink. If you choose to do this, make sure to choose creamy peanut butter and you will have to shake vigorously in the shaker to make sure that it gets broken up.

👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

Step one

Start out by gathering everything up including saucer, crushed peanuts, simple syrup, jigger, ice, shot glass, cocktail shaker, Hawthorne strainer, frangelico, RumChata and peanut butter whiskey.

Step two

Toss ice into the cocktail shaker so that it is partially filled.

Step three

Get your shot glass rimmed. Do this by first laying a thin layer of simple syrup on one side of this saucer. Then, crushing peanuts and laying a thin layer of them on the other side of the saucer.

Place the rim of your shot glass first in a simple syrup. Roll it around until it is covered on the rim. Then, do the same in the crushed peanuts so that the rim is coated with crushed peanuts.

Step four

Using the jigger, measure out 0.5 oz of frangelico and toss that in the shaker.

Step Five

Using the jigger measure at 1.5 oz of peanut butter whiskey and toss that in the shaker.

Step Six

Using the jigger measure out 0.5 oz of RumChata and toss that in the shaker.

Step Seven

Cover the shaker up with its lid. Then, shake for around 15 to 20 seconds and the shaker will become cold on the outside.

Pop off the shaker top and strain your drink from the shaker into the shot glass.
