FAQS:
It definitely smells like peanut butter. The flavor is sweet and buttery with a hint of saltiness.
It actually contains a bit less alcohol than a typical whiskey. Most whiskeys are 40%-50% alcohol, while Skrewball is about 35%.
Technically, yes you could. However, the ice would end up watering down the drink, and you’d lose that amazing flavor. I highly recommend serving this cocktail as a martini to preserve all that yummy peanut butter cup flavor.
HOW TO PREPARE A PEANUT BUTTER CUP MARTINI:
- Preparing this martini is easy. If you like to add a rim to your martini glass, dip the rim in a sweet liquid (such as grenadine) then dip the rim into chocolate sugar. Alternatively, you could drizzle the inside of the martini glass with chocolate syrup.
- To mix the cocktail, simply add a few ice cubes to a shaker, then measure each liquor into the shaker. Top with a lid or pint glass, then shake for about ten seconds.
- Strain the cocktail into your prepared martini glass, and enjoy.
