How to Make a Drunk Turkey

There are two methods for making Peanut Butter Cup Vodka, which is the base of a Drunk Turkey. You can either make infused vodka by combining one cup of vodka with 4 crushed peanut butter cups or create a vodka blended with peanut butter cups by placing 4 peanut butter cups with a cup of vodka in the blender and blending until smooth. Either method will make enough vodka for four cocktails. Since no ice is involved, make sure all ingredients are chilled for the best Drunk Turkey.

  1. Pour peanut butter cup vodka, chocolate liqueur, and milk into a cocktail shaker
  2. Shake well and strain into a glass
  3. Garnish with a peanut butter cup turkey and enjoy!

A peanut butter cup turkey made with candy corn and candy eyes is a perfectly festive garnish that is enjoyable to look at and eat!
