Ingredients
For the Honey Peanut Butter Syrup (makes ¾ cup; enough for 24 shots)
- ¼ Cup granulated sugar
- ¼ Cup peanut butter creamy
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- ¼ Cup + 2 Tablespoons water
For the Shots
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter smooth
- 2 Tablespoons peanuts about 8 whole peanuts, shelled and chopped
- ice

- 1 Ounce Skrewball whiskey or Jack Daniels peanut butter

Instructions
Make the Honey Peanut Butter Syrup (makes ¾ cup; enough for 24 shots):
- In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, add granulated sugar, peanut butter, honey, and water, whisking until combined. While stirring, allow peanut butter syrup to come to a low boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, continuously whisking, as peanut butter can scorch. Pour into a heatproof container and cool to room temperature before using.
Make the Shots
- Fill a sandwich-sized Ziploc bag with 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter and snip off the corner.
- Pipe the peanut butter onto the side of the shot glass in any shape or pattern you’d like. It doesn’t have to look pretty.
- Dip peanut butter-covered area into the chopped peanuts until all of the peanut butter is covered. Repeat this process for the next three shot glasses.
- If the syrup has separated, stir to mix. Fill a cocktail shaker about halfway with ice. Add salt, milk, Skrewball whiskey, peanut butter whiskey, and the syrup.
- Replace lid securely and shake until chilled throughout and mixed thoroughly (20 to 30 seconds). Carefully pour into prepared 2-ounce shot glasses.
Notes
Stir syrup before using: It can separate as it cools, so always mix before adding to your drink.
Chill your shot glasses: This keeps the shots cold longer and adds a nice touch.
Don’t skip the salt: That tiny pinch really makes all the other flavors pop.
Make ahead: The syrup can be made up to a week in advance and stored in the fridge.
