Ingredients & Substitutions

• Reese’s Cups: You’ll need one Reese’s cup per shot. Unfortunately, Reese’s pieces don’t work well as a substitute since they don’t melt properly.
• Baileys: Use Bailey’s Original Irish Cream Liqueur. You can use a flavored Baileys if prefer. As a substitute, you can use RumChata.
• Milk: Milk adds a dash of creaminess to the shot. Whole milk is the best option, but any type of milk works. For an extra creamy shot, you can use cream or half & half.
• Butter: You’ll need a tiny bit of butter to help the Reese’s cup melt smoothly in the microwave. Don’t worry the shot doesn’t taste like butter! You can use margarine if you prefer.

How To Make A Peanut Butter Cup Shot

Step 1: Heat the Reese’s cup and butter in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time, until the Reese’s cup has melted.

Step 2: Mix the melted Reese’s cup and melted butter together until mostly smooth.

Step 3: Stir in the milk and continue mixing until smooth.

Step 4: Line the rim of your shot glass with peanut butter and a bit of melted Reese’s chocolate.

Step 5: Add the Reese’s chocolate mixture and Baileys to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well for 20 seconds and strain into your prepared shot glass.

Expert Tips

• Don’t burn the Reese’s cup. Be careful not to overheat the Reese’s cup in the microwave. Heat it for 10 seconds at a time and stop once it is soft enough to melt once mixed.
• Don’t make these shots in advance. Unfortunately, these shot’s don’t do well when made in advance. This is because they can separate into two layers (however they still taste delicious).
• Add in some other flavors. There are lots of ways you can vary this shot with some optional add ins. For variety, try adding a splash of Kahlua, RumChata, Frangelico, chocolate liqueur or chocolate syrup.
