    • Peanut Butter and Jelly Cocktail

      Posted at 8:44 am by StephMo
      Dec 5th

      Recently I was at a restaurant and they offered a PB & J cocktail on their menu, and I gave it a try. I think their drink had red wine and maybe some actual jelly in it, and it was delicious. The amazing part to this drink was the peanut butter whiskey. Yup, whiskey. I am not a whiskey drinker, but this whiskey is like no other whiskey I have cringed taking a sip of before. It is so smooth and tastes like you are drinking melted peanut butter. To me it tastes more like a liqueur, and I believe the alcohol content is less than a typical whiskey. Kudos to Skrewball Whiskey for coming up with such a delicious and unique product!

      I didn’t really want to figure out how to combine the ingredients used in the restaurant so I decided to give Chambord a try, which I already had in my house. If you aren’t familiar with Chambord, it is a raspberry flavored liqueur.

      I used a 2 to 1 ratio and poured 1 oz of Chambord over ice and topped it with 2 ounces of the whiskey. It was perfect, and like no other drink I have ever tried. And the lyrics “peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time”, was on repeat in my head the entire time I was making it.

      If you like peanut butter and jelly, this cocktail is a must try. Trust me.

      I can’t wait to play around with this whiskey and some chocolate liqueur!

      Cheers!

    • Taste Of Summer Cocktail

      This is hands down one of my favorite drinks in the Summer. A restaurant in Maine used to make something similar that they called a “Taste of Summer” which used Gin, and since then it is what my friends and I call this type of drink. I prefer Vodka over Gin but you can use whichever you please.

      It is basically just a Vodka and Tonic, or Gin and Tonic, with lime and a muddled cucumber. I think the restaurant also added a simple syrup but I like it without. I absolutely love the taste of cucumber in this drink and you can add more of a cucumber flavor by using Cucumber Vodka.

      Ingredients:

      Vodka (or Gin)

      Tonic Water

      Cucumber

      Lime

      Muddle a cucumber in the bottom of a glass. You can crush the cucumber before putting in the glass, or just use a spoon to mash it while in the glass. You just want to release the cucumber flavor.

      Add ice, then equal parts Vodka and Tonic Water and a squeeze of lime. Stir.

      Use a lime wedge and a cumber slice for garnish. Enjoy!

    • Cosmopolitan Martini

      Cosmos are one of my “go to” drinks when I am ordering a cocktail at a restaurant. There are so many different variations of this popular drink but this is the version that I enjoy at home and I hope you’ll enjoy it too!

      Ingredients:

      2 1/2 oz. Vodka

      1 oz. Countreau

      1 oz. cranberry juice

      1/2 oz. lime juice

      Ignore the Gin marker on the bottle, it is actually Vodka. I don’t drink Gin and it was the only antique bottle marker I had and I like the way it looks on my decanter.

      Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with a slice of lime. Enjoy!

    • Lemon Raspberry Martini

      Looking for a fun Saturday Sip? Or any day sip? How about the combination of raspberry and lemon? Some of my favorite flavors together are lemon and raspberry, so Chambord and Limoncello were on the liquor store “packie” shopping list.

      Ingredients:

      1 1/2 oz. Vodka

      1 1/2 oz. Limoncello

      1 oz. Chambord

      Squeeze of a lemon

      Rim a martini glass with lemon juice, and dip it in some sugar to make a lemon sugar rim.

      Add all of the ingredients together in a cocktail shaker along with some ice and shake well.

      Pour into your sugar rimmed martini glass and garnish with a slice of lemon.

      Enjoy!

      Lemon and blueberry are two flavors that go together so well, and also two of my favorite flavors. I actually just had a lemon blueberry scone the other day, so yummy. When it comes to cocktail hour try mixing up these flavors for a delicious martini!

      Ingredients:

      1.5 oz. Blueberry Vodka

      1.5 oz. Vanilla Vodka

      1.5 oz. Limoncello

      Fresh blueberries and lemon for garnish

      Shake vodkas and limoncello in a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour into a glass and garnish with the blueberries and lemon. Enjoy!
