PB&J Martini

Day 57




PB&J Martini (Peanut Butter and Jelly)
3.5 shots out of 5



It's like a race against time here!!  It's storming outside, total thunder and lightening!  My friend Steph (The Crockpot Lady) called to tell me that the news said that we may have a power outage, so I'm mixing, shaking, straining, drinking and blogging as fast as my fingers can!  My 4 kids are all standing by the windows announcing when they see yet another lightening bolt.....which I must say they're coming faster and faster!

I gave tonight's cocktail 3.5 shots out of 5.  Next time I think I will cut back the amount of vodka in this cocktail, which I think I'd like a bit better.  The flavor the PB&J is good, (ok that last lightening bolt was right outside our house.......blog faster, blog faster!) so I think I'll definitely make my tweeked version again!  For those who like their martinis with a bit of flavor, I think you'll definitely like this cocktail!

Here is the recipe for the PB&J:

  • 2 shots vodka
  • 1/2 shot hazelnut liqueur (frangelico)
  • 1/2 shot Chambord
  • 1/4 shot Butterscotch Schnapps
  • dash of milk
In a shaker, add ice, vodka, hazelnut liqueur, chambord, butterscotch schnapps and milk.  Shake it up real good to get everything mixed up.  In a chilled martini glass strain your cocktail and enjoy!


Here is a photo of the end result:

Cheers to PB&J making it into the martini world!!  Now I have to go join my family (yes my husband is getting very excited about seeing the lightening too) in watching the lightening and listening to the thunder!
