Steve's Old Fashioned PB&J

old-fashioned · bourbon

Peanut butter in bourbon sounds like a dare, and the name isn't helping my case. Keep plain bourbon at twice the PB pour, or even them up if you want the full sandwich — the muddled strawberry is doing the jam work, not the liqueur. Tastes like being eight, which is the appeal and also the problem.

Ingredients

Where there's a range: the low end is lighter, the high end is fuller.

  • 1 partPB Bourbonpeanut butter bourbon
  • 2 partsBourbon
  • ½ partStrawberry liquor
  • 4–5 dashesOrange bitters
  • Strawberrymuddled

Method

Muddle fresh strawberry in the bottom of a highball glass to start. Add ice, then mix all ingredients in the glass. Enjoy!

Steve’s notes

Hint: if you want MORE PB taste, dial up the PB Bourbon and dial back the regular bourbon, or split them evenly (1 1/2 to 1 1/2).
