Old School Peanut Butter & Jelly Infused Cocktail
Ingredients
- 2 oz. Peanut Butter Infused Vodka*
- 3 oz. Grape Juice
Preparation
- Serve over ice and enjoy.
Peanut Butter Infused Vodka*
Ingredients
- Peanut Botter
- 1 Bottle of Vodka
Preparation
- Spread a layer of peanut butter inside of a long and wide plastic container.
- Pour bottle of vodka over the peanut butter (the goal is to get as much vodka exposed to the peanut butter) and let this sit for a day.
- Turn the peanut butter with a spatula on Day 2. You will notice that the peanut butter exposed to the vodka is a pale color while the bottom is a nice rich brown. Turn to expose the rich brown peanut butter.
- On Day 3, strain the peanut butter vodka and start steps 1 and 2 over again using the strained peanut butter vodka.
- Repeat step 3.
- On day 5, strain using cheese cloths.
- Once strained let sit and the oil and vodka will separate. It will be very clear as to what part is the oil (transparent and brown in color compared to the thick pale infused vodka).
- Pour into another container only getting the infused vodka.
