What is a Peanut Butter and Jelly Shot?
A Peanut Butter and Jelly Shot (sometimes called a PB&J Shot) is an alcoholic shot or shooter that tastes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
It has a really pretty deep red hue, too, thanks to the Chambord liqueur.
Ingredients
You only need three ingredients (and one of those is a garnish) to make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Shot! Let's take a look at them below.
- Chambord: Chambord liqueur is a sweet raspberry liqueur that's produced in France and comes in a distinctive spherical bottle. It has a pretty, deep red, almost purple, color.
- Peanut Butter Whiskey: So, yeah. Peanut butter whiskey sounds kind of crazy, right? And it kind of is, if you think about it. I used Skrewball brand peanut butter whiskey for this cocktail. It's sweet, pleasantly peanutty, and the perfect addition to this shot.
- Raspberries: I garnished my shots with a fresh raspberry on a cocktail pick. It's not mandatory, but I thought that it looked nice. And the raspberry was tasty, too.
How do you make a PBJ Shot?
I made this as a shaken shot, though you could totally layer the different types of alcohol on top of one another in your shot glass. I talked about layering shots in my post about Baby Guinness shots.
So, since this is a shaken shot, all you need to do is add your two alcohols to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake shake shake. Then strain the shaken shot into a tall shot glass.
I opted to garnish mine with fresh raspberries on pretty gold cocktail picks. Totally optional, though.
