Brew 1 cup of strong coffee (or prepare a double-strength drip). If you prefer extra espresso flavor, pull 1 shot of espresso and add to the brewed coffee.

Preheat a heatproof mug by rinsing with hot water, then discard the water.

Alcohol & Flavoring

Add 1 oz peanut butter whiskey and 1 oz chocolate liqueur to the warmed mug.

Sweetener & Texture

In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine 1 tsp creamy peanut butter with 1 tsp hot water and whisk until smooth and pourable. This prevents clumps in the coffee.

Stir the loosened peanut butter and 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar syrup (or simple syrup) into the mug with the liqueurs until fully dissolved.

Combine & Heat

Pour the hot coffee (and espresso shot if using) into the mug with the alcohol and peanut butter mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine and taste; adjust sweetness with a little more syrup if desired.

Finish & Garnish

Whip cream

In a chilled small bowl, whip 1/4 cup cold heavy cream with 1 tsp powdered sugar until soft peaks form. (Alternatively use prepared whipped cream.)

Gently spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the hot coffee so it floats.

Dust the whipped cream with 1/2 tsp cocoa powder or sprinkle chocolate shavings and 1 tsp crushed roasted peanuts for a crunchy garnish.
