PB&J Margarita Recipe
The PB&J Margarita is a unique and whimsical twist on the classic margarita cocktail. Inspired by the beloved childhood sandwich, this drink combines peanut butter whiskey, tequila, lime juice and grape jelly to create a sweet, tangy and nutty flavor profile that’s sure to delight your taste buds.
The defining feature of the PB&J Margarita is its distinctive purple color, which comes from the addition of blue curaçao and grape jelly. As you shake the drink, the blue curaçao and jelly gets mixed in and turns the liquid a beautiful bright purple shade, just like grape juice. The cherry garnish on top enhances this purple color and ties in the classic jelly component of a PB&J sandwich.
