Ingredients

4 to 6 ounces root beer
1½ ounces Skrewball peanut butter whiskey, 1 shot
2 scoops vanilla ice cream, about 1 cup
Whipped cream
Peanut butter, warmed until pourable
Crushed peanuts

Instructions

Slowly pour root beer into a large soda glass or milkshake glass.
Add one shot of Skrewball whiskey.
Carefully drop in 1 to 2 scoops of ice cream, making sure the glass does not overflow.
Top with whipped cream, peanut butter drizzle, and chopped peanuts.

Notes

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.
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.
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.
