A delectably complex yet familiar Old Fashioned that hits all the right notes! Here’s another idea on how to utilize this Skrewball peanut butter liqueur in balanced craft cocktails…

This drink is rich and delicious. The peanut butter influence peeks through, but the dominant player is the smoky whisky accompanied by a halo of aromatic warm spices. Exactly as how Old Fashioneds should be – never “too sweet.” Plus, the saltiness from the Skrewball liqueur adds just the perfect level of salinity to help bring out all the spice notes. I could easily drink a couple more!

You could try this with bourbon or rye as well, but I am a really big fan of the Highland Park Magnus – the smoky yet approachable profile just really shines in cocktails. It’s readily available at a good price, making it perfect for cocktails and drams alike.

If you have a bottle of Skrewball or other peanut butter liqueur, definitely recommend giving this a try!
