With my birthday this weekend and good news about the results of my licensure exam from last Friday, it’s time to celebrate here on the blog. And I can’t think of any better way to celebrate than with peanut butter-flavored vodka! Yup, I infused some Tito’s with mini Reese’s and made little chocolate cups to serve my peanut butter-chocolate cocktail in. The result is a fun party treat that combines some of my favorite things: peanut butter, chocolate, and of course, vodka. Another edible shot glass to add to the list (including chocolate covered strawberry ones) because we all know chocolate makes for an excellent chaser!

In order to make peanut butter cup flavored vodka, you can either buy something like “NutLiquor” if you can find it anywhere in a store near you (I couldn’t), or you can just let a handful of Reese’s hang out in some vodka for a week to infuse all the delicious flavors. I’ve had all sorts of fruit-infused vodkas, but this was my first time experimenting with candy-infused alcohol, and I’m so excited to try more! The vodka definitely had a strong chocolate-peanut butter flavor, and tasted even more delicious when combined with some chocolate milk, Bailey’s, and a bit of melted peanut butter. I made the chocolate cups out of milk chocolate to keep true to the Reese’s combination and used this silicone mold to really mimic the look of a Reese’s. They were a hit with my friends and I think it made for a great change-up to to all the jello shots I’ve been making the past year :)

So go ahead and grab a bag of mini Reese’s, some vodka, and a glass jar to start infusing so they’re ready for next weekend! It takes a bit of patience, and somewhat of a strong stomach to watch the chocolates slightly disintegrate in the liquid over time, but no fear – once you strain out all the chocolate pieces, you’re left with an amazing smelling and smooth, infused vodka. Cheers!
