Peanut butter whiskey? Why not?
This harmonious blend of seemingly disparate flavours might seem a bit surprising, but it’s a whole lot delicious.
A little salty, a little sweet, a little savoury and always smooth, Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey is unlike anything you have tasted before. It is a perfect celebration of the unexpected, wild and wonderful in all of us.
Born in San Diego, California, bred across the US, Canada and the Caribbean, Skrewball began as a best-selling cocktail at a restaurant in Ocean Beach.
It was one of those drinks that people couldn’t stop talking about, embodying both smooth whisky and creamy peanut butter flavours at the same time.
Immigrating as a refugee from Cambodia, co-founder Steven Yeng developed the cocktail at his bar and restaurant which was known for its foodie-friendly fare as well as being a haven for local misfits, characters and black sheep.
Teaming up with wife Brittany, who is a lawyer and chemist, the couple developed a stand-alone spirit that tasted great on its own and played well in a cocktail.
"The result is Skrewball: our unconventional ode to different backgrounds, exotic flavours and the seemingly disparate qualities that make us all unique and united. Here’s to the Skrewballs,” Steve says.
