Calling all chocolate and peanut butter lovers! This Peanut Butter Cup Cocktail is certainly not for the faint of heart. It's surprisingly strong with a smooth and sweet flavor. The chocolate liqueur and whole milk complement the subtle peanut butter flavor in the whiskey without overwhelming it. Whatever you do, don't skip the peanut butter and chocolate shavings on the rim. The texture and flavor on the rim helps to drive home the drink's peanut butter cup theme. The real secret to this peanut butter cup cocktail recipe is the salt. Salt amplifies flavors, including sweet ones, so no need to second guess it when you're looking at the ingredients list. Once you've mastered the mixology of this drink, the only thing left to do is to invite friends over for a dessert cocktail night.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
¼ ounce 60% dark chocolate bar
1 cup ice, plus additional for shaker
¾ cup (6 ounces) peanut butter whiskey (such as Skrewball)
¼ cup (2 ounces) chocolate liqueur (such as Godiva)
¼ cup whole milk
2 pinches sea salt

Directions

Spread peanut butter onto a small plate. Grate chocolate bar on a Microplane grater, and place on a second plate. Dip rims of 2 (8-ounce) glasses into peanut butter and then into chocolate shavings. Fill each glass with ½ cup ice.
Pour whiskey, chocolate liqueur, milk, and salt into a cocktail shaker, and fill with ice; shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Remove lid, and pour over ice in glasses. Serve immediately.
