Instructions for 1 serving
- Pre-chill a glass
- Shake all ingredients with ice: Irish cream liqueur 15 mlRaspberry liqueur 15 mlHazelnut liqueur 15 ml
- Fine strain into the chilled glass
Tips
- Pre-chill the shot glass so the fine-strained pour stays cold through the first sip, since there's no ice in the glass to keep it that way.
- Fine-strain rather than pouring straight from the shaker so no ice shards or chips dilute the shot as it sits.
- Shake hard and briefly, about 10 seconds, so the three liqueurs fully combine without over-diluting the equal-parts build.
FAQ
What is a PB&J shot?
A PB&J shot is a layered-flavor shooter built to taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, typically combining a nutty liqueur, a creamy liqueur, and a fruity liqueur. This version shakes Irish cream, raspberry, and hazelnut liqueurs with ice and fine-strains them into a chilled shot glass, using hazelnut for the peanut butter note and raspberry for the jelly.

How do you make a peanut butter and jelly shot?
Shake Irish cream, raspberry, and hazelnut liqueurs together with ice, then fine-strain into a pre-chilled shot glass. Pre-chilling the glass keeps the shot cold since it's served without ice, and fine-straining removes any ice shards for a smooth, clean pour.

Can you make a peanut butter and jelly shot with Skrewball whiskey?
Yes, a peanut butter whiskey such as Skrewball is a common way to build a PB&J shot, typically paired with a fruit liqueur or grenadine for the jelly note. This recipe takes a different route, using hazelnut liqueur for the peanut butter character alongside Irish cream and raspberry liqueur instead of a peanut butter whiskey.
