Peanut Butter and Jelly Shot
This Peanut Butter and Jelly Shot is a smooth, layered shooter that tastes just like the classic sandwich we all grew up with. Sweet raspberry liqueur, nutty hazelnut liqueur, and creamy Baileys come together for a dessert-style shot that's rich, playful and surprisingly balanced.
This is the kind of shot that shines at get-togethers or anytime you want something fun and nostalgic on the table at your next party. It's especially popular on game day or with guests who love sweet shots and prefer something approachable over a strong pour.
For more creamy shots with a fun, nostalgic vibe, try our Bazooka Joe Shot or Scooby Doo Shot.

Why You Will Love This Recipe
- No Shaker Needed: This recipe skips the cocktail shaker entirely for a fun presentation.
- Nostalgic Flavor: It captures that familiar peanut butter and jelly vibe in a fun, boozy form.
- Great for Parties: These shots look impressive but are just as delicious shaken if desired.
Ingredients
This shot relies on carefully chosen liqueurs to create both flavor and visual layers.
See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.
- Chambord Liqueur: Brings the "jelly" element with its rich black-raspberry flavor.
- Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur: Adds the nutty sweetness that mimics peanut butter without overpowering the shot.
- Baileys Irish Cream: Finishes the shot with a creamy, smooth layer that ties everything together.
Grab your shot glasses and a cocktail spoon (or any small spoon).
Variations
- Peanut Butter Boost: Swap Frangelico for Skrewball peanut butter whiskey for a bolder peanut butter flavor.
- Single-Pour Version: Skip the layers and gently stir (or shake) everything together for an easy, no-fuss shot.
How to Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Shot
While layered shots look fancy, they are simpler than you think.
Into a shot glass pour Chambord.
Hover a small spoon (scoop side up), over the Chambord and slowly pour in Frangelico.
Do the same for the Baileys and enjoy.
Hint: Whether layered or mixed, this shot is best enjoyed immediately while the flavors are fresh and balanced.
Recipe Tips
- Shaken/Stirred: Built for layered presentation, but stirring blends the flavors for a more classic PB & J taste.
- Glass: Clear shot glasses show off the layers best and make the presentation pop.
- Layering vs. Blending: While this shot can be layered for visual impact, it's completely normal for the Chambord and Frangelico to blend quickly. Gently stirring or shaking enhances the classic PB & J flavor by letting the nutty and berry notes shine together.
- Large Batch: You can mix them together and store in the fridge and pour over ice.
If you love a nutty, dessert-style, easy alcoholic drink, you must try our Peanut Butter Whiskey Shots.
