Recipe Tips

  • Shaken/Stirred: Shake well to create a frothy, creamy texture and fully combine the ingredients.
  • Glass: Any shot glass is great, but you can also pour a double batch over ice in a lowball.
  • Garnish: Use thick caramel sauce or peanut butter so the salt sticks evenly to the rim of the shot glass.
  • Dessert-Like Feel: Top with whipped cream and crushed peanuts.
  • Taste Before You Pour: Everyone's sweet tooth is different, give it a quick taste before serving and adjust with a splash of cream if needed.

Salted Nut Roll Shot Recipe FAQs

Can I use regular whiskey instead of peanut butter whiskey?

You can, but it will lose the signature nutty flavor. For a similar taste, add a splash of hazelnut or butterscotch schnapps.

Can I make a batch ahead of time?

Yes, mix everything (except ice) in an airtight container, then shake with ice right before serving for the best texture.

How can I make this shot non-alcoholic?

Replace the liquors with a mix of caramel syrup, heavy cream and peanut butter syrup for a creamy mocktail-style shooter.
