You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone (aside from communists and people without mouths) who doesn’t love peanut butter and whiskey — separately, of course. They’re delectable, life-affirming treats that taste best first thing in the morning with breakfast. But, peanut butter whiskey seems like the answer to a question no one was asking. Regardless, Skrewball’s Peanut Butter Whiskey has answered that question.

The self-described “world’s first peanut butter whiskey” is purportedly the first and only such whiskey on the market. Skrewball is taking a bold stance that their liquid novelty is not only good as a flavoring agent, but that it stands confidently on its own: as a shot, on the rocks, or neat. It’s a tall promise. Intense flavoring works in vodkas and rums. However, flavored whiskey — just as with, say, flavored tequila — is a whole other animal.

After a neat sampling, our first impressions were mixed. The nose is earthy and slightly dusty, reminiscent of natural peanut butter. The taste is another matter entirely. The whiskey takes a backseat to the peanut butter notes, which are strong, rich, and sweet, almost cloying. This is a love-it-or-hate-it liquor.

For serious peanut butter fans who like their cocktails on the syrupy, dessert-like side, it seems a perfect fit. Skrewball gets this, which is why their lineup of recipes includes peanut-butter-forward cocktails like the Skrew Putin (their take on a classic White Russian).

Likewise, their Salted Caramel Pretzel is a straightforward liquid dessert.

  • 1.5 oz Skrewball Whiskey
  • 0.75 oz Godiva Chocolate Liqueur

Method: Shake and strain. Serve with a caramel salt rim.

Just as you might use amaro or bitters to punch up niche cocktails, Skrewball works well in small doses as a sweet flavoring agent. Of course, we expect it would also be perfect baked into homemade fudge, a fresh batch of brownies, or one of these peanut butter desserts.

Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey is now available online for around $20 per 750ml bottle.

These underrated bourbons deserve a spot in your fall whiskey rotation
Prepare for fall by purchasing these lesser-known bourbons
Pouring a glass of whiskey.

Bourbon is the epitome of America in a glass. The United States’ “native spirit” is as American as the designated hitter, bright yellow school buses, and McDonald’s apple pie. It’s entrenched in the history of America, with many big names like Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam, Woodford Reserve, and Wild Turkey taking center stage. But, while you can’t go wrong with any of these brands and expressions, if you really want to get the most out of this corn-based whiskey, you’ll try one of the countless lesser-known (but just as noteworthy) bourbons on the market.
A background on bourbon

Before we get into these underrated gems, it’s important to take a step back and let you in on the rules and regulations surrounding bourbon. Because there are a few. First, to be considered a bourbon, it must be made with a mash bill of at least 51% corn.
And while there are a handful of other rules, the second most important is based on geography. Bourbon, like Cognac in certain areas of France and tequila in specific Mexican states, can only be produced in the US. Even though someone might try to tell you that it can only be produced in Kentucky, that’s simply not true. Sure, more than 90% of all bourbon is made in the Blue Grass State, but it can be made anywhere in the US, including DC and Puerto Rico.

The frozen drink of the summer is going out with a bang: Whipped lemonade
The frothy, boozy drink everyone’s talking about
lemonade with condensed milk and lime. Two glasses with a drink, served with citrus slices and mint

Move over frozen espresso martinis — there’s a new end-of-summer obsession sweeping social media and back patios alike. Tart, creamy, frosty, with just the right amount of indulgence, whipped lemonade is basically sunshine in a glass and the perfect summertime treat. Think lemonade meets whipped cream meets frozen cocktail, but with less fuss.
If you’ve spent any time at all on TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen a few versions of whipped lemonade in all its deliciously silky glory. The non-alcoholic version has been trending for weeks, but when you spike it with a splash (or two) of vodka, that’s when the magic really happens. It’s like a frozen lemon meringue pie got tipsy at a Labor Day pool party, and everyone’s invited to share in the good time.
Whipped lemonade is not only delicious, it’s also ridiculously simple to make. All you need is fresh lemon juice (not the bottled stuff — never the bottled stuff), sweetened condensed milk, ice, vodka, and a blender. Then, simply blend these humble ingredients into a thick, frothy slush that practically begs to be sipped during golden hour on the deck. The best part? It’s endlessly customizable. You can keep it tart and citrusy, amp up the sweetness, or even swap in limoncello or coconut rum for a different variety of flavor flair. Whether you're hosting a farewell summer gathering or just craving something cold and fun on a hot day, this is the drink that delivers instant summer vibes.

Whipped Lemonade recipe
If you want to enjoy all the frosty, creamy goodness of whipped lemonade without the alcohol, it’s super easy to make a mocktail version that still hits the spot. Just skip the booze and blend together fresh lemon juice, sweetened condensed milk, ice, and a splash of water or lemon soda to thin it out to your preferred texture. The result is a tangy-sweet frozen lemonade that’s smooth, indulgent, and totally family-friendly. You still get the rich creaminess and refreshing citrus zing, just without the buzz. Perfect for kids, daytime sipping, or anyone skipping alcohol but still craving a fun end-of-summer treat.
