One Good Ritual

Goal

Turn a classic protein shake flavoring into a cocktail?

Method

My goal is to peanut butter fat wash Maker’s Mark, a nice, soft, wheaty bourbon. I hope to transfer some of that mouthfeel as well as some peanut butter flavoring into the spirit.

Banana liqueur as the sweetener.

Possibly black walnut bitters, possibly aromatic.

Why

Peanut butter and banana, classic flavor pairing. This drink will also serve as a test bed for the peanut butter fat wash for a future PB&J Cocktail when concord grapes are in season so I can make a concord grape cheong.

The banana liqueur will have to be fairly restrained, fine considering my own preferences, otherwise I think we’ll overpower whatever peanut butter we carry over from the wash.
