If you’re a lover of the peanut butter-chocolate combination, you’re going to have to try this as your dessert cocktail.

But the key ingredient though isn’t chocolate or peanut butter. It’s salt. That’s because salt amplifies flavors, including the sweet ones. So there’s no need to second-guess this its presence in the recipe.

To make the Peanut Butter Cup Cocktail you need creamy peanut butter, dark chocolate, peanut butter whiskey, chocolate liqueur, whole milk and sea salt. The whiskey, chocolate liqueur, milk and salt are shaken together in ice and poured into a glass rimmed with peanut butter and chocolate shavings.

Author Levy advises not skipping the step in which you dip the glass into peanut butter and chocolate before pouring the drink into it. This enhances the drink’s theme while adding both texture and flavor to your experience.
