Notes

Storage:

Serve immediately with a straw and/or a long spoon.

Notes:

One ounce of whiskey balances well with 6 oz. of root beer. Use a large enough glass that gives you room for ice cream. The root beer fizzes and foams when the ice cream is added.

The Skrewball whiskey has a definite peanut butter flavor and is sweet. It pairs remarkably well with root beer. Turning the combo into a spiked root beer float tastes delicious and is super fun, but you can also serve root beer and Skrewball over ice for a more simple cocktail.

Use creamy peanut butter and warm it for about 30 seconds in the microwave to make it pourable. Drizzle over the top of your drink or dip the glass rim in it.
