Better Butter Happy Hour, Anyone?
It came up one night, like nearly all good things do, over dinner and drinks. Why not try Better Butter in a cocktail? Well-crafted cocktails are in high demand right now and bars all over the city are getting creative with their drink menus.
Cheers!
The major challenge? The texture of peanut butter and how to incorporate it into a drink. It could be done. Think of how successful and well-loved the peanut butter smoothie is.
The obvious choice was the Maple Pumpkin flavor, which could pair nicely with whiskey. The drink tastes exactly like Fall and it certainly shows just how versatile Better Butter really is. Mix it up at your Thanksgiving dinner and your guests will be impressed by your innovative drink.

1/4 oz St. Elizabeth's Allspice Dram
