The taste of root beer floats will take you back to childhood, but this boozy peanut butter root beer is definitely only for grown-ups. The scrumptious cocktail is the perfect combination of creamy vanilla ice cream and fizzy root beer mixed with peanut butter whiskey to create a refreshing adult beverage.
Peanut Butter Root Beer Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 4 to 6 ounces of root beer
- 1½ ounces Skrewball peanut butter whiskey (1 shot)
- 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream (about 1 cup)
- Whipped cream
- Peanut butter (warmed until pourable)
- Crushed peanuts
PRO TIP:
The Skrewball whiskey has a definite peanut butter flavor and is sweet. It pairs remarkably well with the root beer. Turning the combo into a spiked root beer float tastes delicious and is super fun, but you can also serve root beer and Skrewball over ice for a simpler but delicious cocktail.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
ROOT BEER: Any brand of root beer, whether name brand or generic, will work fine in this great cocktail.
How to Make This Peanut Butter Root Beer Recipe
STEP ONE: Slowly pour root beer into a large soda glass or milkshake glass.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
One ounce of whiskey balances well with 6 ounces of root beer. Use a large enough glass that you have room for ice cream as well. The root beer will fizz and foam when the ice cream is added.
STEP TWO: Add one shot of Skrewball whiskey.
STEP THREE: Carefully drop in 1 to 2 scoops of ice cream, making sure the glass does not overflow.
STEP FOUR: Top with whipped cream, peanut butter drizzle, and chopped peanuts. Serve the root beer cocktail immediately with a straw and/or a long spoon.
PRO TIP:
Use creamy peanut butter and warm it for about 30 seconds in the microwave to make it pourable. Drizzle over the top of your drink or dip the rim of the glass in it.
