If you’ve recently bought a bottle and are wondering what to mix with peanut butter whiskey, I have the classic PBJ flavor combination for you right here.
While some people advocate using strawberry jam in peanut butter sandwiches (ahem, my in-laws), we were always a solid grape jelly family for our PBJ sandwiches. I still prefer the taste of grape jelly over strawberry or raspberry, so the cocktails that call for Chambord or strawberry liqueur don’t taste quite right to me.
Peanut Butter & Jelly Old Fashioned
If you’ve recently bought a bottle and are wondering what to mix with peanut butter whiskey, I have the classic PBJ flavor combination for you right here.While some people advocate using strawberry jam in peanut butter sandwiches (ahem, my in-laws), we were always a solid grape jelly family for our PBJ sandwiches. What’s an Old Fashioned?Most of you who’ve been following me for a bit know what an old fashioned is because I make them so often, but for those of you who don’t, here a quick primer. An old fashioned whiskey cocktail is one of the oldest cocktails and consists of whiskey, sugar and bitters. As a bourbon lover my first inclination is always to head to bourbon for my old fashioneds, but a lightly peated scotch or a spicy rye would also work wonderfully in this cocktail.For more on the history of the old fashioned and how to make (imho) a perfect old fashioned, check out my article, How to Make a Perfect Old Fashioned. It’s got the basics of the history of the cocktail, along with tips on how to play with the recipe and find your perfect old fashioned recipe.
