Equipment

  • 3 small bowls
  • nut milk bag, cheesecloth or coffee filters
  • slotted spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whiskey or bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened/unsalted all natural peanut butter
  • Note: If you want your peanut butter whiskey to be sweet, you can add 1-2 tablespoons white granulated sugar or use a sweetened peanut butter.

Instructions

  • Stir peanut butter so thoroughly mixed (oil generally rises to top in natural peanut butter).
  • Measure and pour whiskey into one bowl.
  • Measure and scoop peanut butter into another microwave safe bowl. Microwave peanut butter for 30 seconds. It helps release some of the fragrance in the oil.
  • Pour peanut butter into whiskey and stir thoroughly.
  • Mixture will be cloudy. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit at room temperature for 4 hours.
  • After 4 hours, peanut butter will have settled to the bottom.
  • Place nut milk bag into a third bowl. Pour mixture into nut milk bag to drain liquid into bowl.
  • Gently squeeze nut milk bag to get additional liquid into the bowl. Be careful not to squeeze too hard. You want to keep as much of the solids in the nut milk bag and drain as much of the liquid into the bowl.
  • Cover mixture with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
  • After freezing overnight, remove from freezer and you should see fat has solidified and risen to the top. There will also be peanut butter solids at the bottom.
  • Skim any fat solids from the top with a slotted spoon.
  • Repeat steps using nut milk bag (#7 and #8) to separate out any remaining solids. Again, mixture will be cloudy. Cover and put back in freezer overnight.
  • Skim any remaining fat solids. Repeat this process as necessary to remove additional solids and fat.
  • Store in refrigerator.
