If you've ever raised an eyebrow at the idea of peanut butter and whiskey in the same sentence, you're not alone. But Skrewball — the Original Peanut Butter Whiskey — is full of cocktail-compatible surprises… and that's what makes it so damn good.
Created in the US as a blend of American whiskey and natural peanut butter flavour, it's smooth, nutty and often the number one choice for bartenders who want to go a little wild. One of those bartenders is Sav Harrison, Skrewball's AU & NZ brand ambassador, who thinks too many people box it in before they've had a proper taste.
"A lot of people get either caught up in the whiskey side or the peanut butter side and forget that we created a whole new category," Harrison says. "Don't just go for an old fashioned and manhattan. Skrewball is an opportunity to create something new altogether. Go nuts!"
For Harrison, Skrewball cocktail creation starts with asking herself: what won't work? "Nothing is off the table with this bad boy," she says. "Recently I just discovered that Mumm Premium Sparkling Wine and Skrewball work when paired with raspberry and lemon."

And when it comes to serving up your delicious concoction, she recommends a rocks glass or coupe. "Nothing beats a Skrewball on the rocks and the versatility of a rocks glass means you can make anything from a margarita to an old fashion. With the occasional jump to a coupe glass [because] it's fun, playful and can do anything."
Here are three of Harrison's standout recipes, each designed to show off what peanut butter whiskey can actually do in the right hands.
The Nutty Sparkler
Think PB&J, but fizzy. The raspberry plays into Skrewball's nutty sweetness, while the lemon juice cuts through with a tart edge. The Mumm gives it a lift, making the whole thing lighter and more refreshing than you'd expect.
What's in it:
- 45ml Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey
- 15ml Raspberry Liqueur (like Chambord, or a homemade raspberry syrup for less sweetness)
- 10ml Fresh Lemon Juice (to cut through the richness)
- Chilled Mumm Premium Sparkling Wine
- Garnish: Fresh raspberries and a lemon twist
Ba Ba Bramble
The classic 1980's bramble combines gin, lemon juice and simple syrup. To give it a remix, swap the gin for Skrewball's natural sweetness, add in blackberries for a fruity twist and Chartreuse for a herbal note and extra kick.
What's in it:
- 1½ parts Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey
- ½ parts Green Chartreuse
- ½ parts Lemon Juice
- 5 parts Blackberries
- Mint & Blackberries for Garnish
Skrewball Old Fashioned
If you're still suspicious of flavoured spirits, this is an easy entry ramp. The rye whiskey keeps things grounded, while the Skrewball adds a hit of smooth sweetness that'll keep you coming back for more.
What's in it:
- 1½ parts Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey
- ¾ parts Rye Whiskey
- 4 dashes Angostura Bitters
The bottom line? Creating a Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey cocktail can be as fun as you want it to be. "Every time I decide to play around with cocktails and Skrewball, I find out there's so much to Skrewball almost anything works," Harrison says.
