Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Martini

Reese’s Peanut Butter cups happen to be quite a commodity in our household. And, for some very strange reason their value seems to increase exponentially during Halloween.

Thanks to my careful and thoughtful planning I invested in a small Reese’s Peanut Butter hedge fund anticipating their upcoming increase. Which has allowed me to prepare such a delightful cocktail during the height of trick-or-treating season.



 
 

 

Wether or not Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are a high commodity in your household, past trends have shown that after a week or two post Halloween they seem to come back down to what I would consider “normal” value. Keep in mind that to make this “candy-like” martini you’ll be infusing your own vodka, so there is a week of planning ahead that you’ll have to do. —It’s totally worth it!

Amazing fusion of flavor here! So creative and easy-well worth a try. Prior to making this I will check my vodka level-I could see it running out rather quickly with this drink recipe-yum!

Hi Anne,

You could use a plastic container with a lid, or any other seal-able type container with an opening large enough to fit a few ice cubes through. Enjoy!

Oh man this sounds sooo good. I am pregnant and wonder if there is a way to make a non alcoholic version of this…

Hi Alexandra, I would suggest instead of infusing vodka with the Reese’s PB cups. Melt them in milk then chill the milk and add the Hershey’s chocolate syrup and serve in a pretty martini glass. ;)

Does this recipe… quadruple easily?? When you infuse the vodka do you have to have a glass container or can it be plastic?? Looking to make this for a party!!!! I can’t wait!!

Reply

Hi Christine, yes you can easily quadruple the recipe. It would be best if you found a glass container to infuse the vodka in, oh and make sure it seals tightly. Best of luck with your party! :) – Josie

22 Christine January 24, 2012 at 10:31 pm

Have you ever just infused the entire bottle of vodka.. using that as a container?

Reply

23 Daydreamer Desserts January 25, 2012 at 1:44 pm

I have done that in the past but only after using some of if up, otherwise the ingredient I was infusing would have overflowed the bottle. Other than that, yes it makes a perfect container!

24 Becky January 24, 2012 at 12:16 pm

Do you crush or melt the PB cups you infuse the vodka with or use them whole? Can’t wait to try this!!

Reply

25 Daydreamer Desserts January 24, 2012 at 12:43 pm

Hi Becky, you can roughly chop if you’ed like but, make sure you don’t melt them. Enjoy!

Hey this does sound wonderful but did you know they make a peanut butter vodka. It is called Nutliquor and it is AWESOME for martinis.

27 Daydreamer Desserts January 25, 2012 at 1:47 pm

Thanks Alison, I have seen it out there… perhaps I need to pick up a bottle of it for the sake of research. ;)

28 Kristen February 7, 2012 at 3:51 pm

Will you report back if that works as well? I’m eager to start infusing my vodka now, but it would be good to know in the future. XD

LOVE the pics, they are gorgeous. Can’t wait to try the drink in 7ish days!

I will be trying these this week! I’m infusing my vodka today. I have a question though – where does the chocolate syrup come in? I see it in the list of ingredients but I missed what you did with it.

How exciting! Actually the chocolate syrup goes in the shaker… updating the recipe right now. -Josie

Oh my! As a bit of an amateur mixologist and vodka infuser I love this idea. Now, I simple must make this… but with my own twist, of course. Thank you, for providing me with such joyful inspiration!

I think I love your photos as much as I love this recipe! I WILL be trying this very soon. Thanks!

Wow, this sounds amazing! Definitely need to try it. This would make a GREAT gift. The infused vodka in a basket with the chocolate syrup, mini pb cups, and a cute note with the recipe. Yums! :)
