The Peanut Butter Espresso martini is a harmonious blend of just three ingredients: rich coffee liqueur, freshly brewed espresso, and creamy peanut butter whiskey.

Peanut Butter Manhattan
By incorporating peanut butter whiskey into the OG Manhattan recipe, you’re essentially swapping bourbon with a creamy and nutty spirit that complements the drink’s sweetness.
