A *little* bit too close to one of those [flavor]tini drinks of the late 90s, but I think that&#8217;s just a risk you run with a vodka cocktail and another strong flavor. The spice in the peanut syrup was a nice touch which, as Jamie pointed out, gave the drink more of a Thai peanut sauce flavor than peanut butter and jelly. I&#8217;d still call this more of a dessert than a drink I&#8217;d have at a bar, but it wasn&#8217;t as cloying as it could have been. I wouldn&#8217;t make this for myself, but I&#8217;d definitely keep it on the books if I needed something for a holiday party or something like that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spicy Peanut Syrup<\/strong><br \/>\nbring 1\/2 cup chunky peanut butter and 1.5 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add 1\/2 cup sugar &amp; 1 tbsp cayenne pepper and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring regularly. Strain a LOT. I passed it through a fine strainer about 4 times to get all the solids. Allow to cool and bottle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homespeakeasy.com\/?p=607\">More on the experiment &gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.5 oz Penn 1681 Vodka 0.5 oz Benedictine 0.25 oz Honey Syrup 1 oz Spicy Peanut Syrup 3 dashes Chocolate Bitters Pour a little honey syrup onto a wet paper towel and dip the rim of the glass into it.
