Why Groovy Voodoo Makes a Good Cocktail Base
Groovy Voodoo Peanut Butter Whiskey fuses the free spirit of the 1960s with New Orleans mystique, and it delivers a bold 70 proof spirit with rich, creamy peanut butter flavor and a daring twist. It earned a Gold Medal at the 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a strong showing for a flavored whiskey.
Because the peanut butter flavor is already so distinct, the best mixers either lean into it, like cream and chocolate, or play off it with something bold like cola or coffee.
1. Voodoo Russian
A peanut butter spin on a White Russian. Coffee liqueur and heavy cream turn Groovy Voodoo into a dessert in a glass.
- 2 oz Groovy Voodoo Peanut Butter Whiskey
- 1 oz coffee liqueur
- Heavy cream, to fill
Fill a rocks glass with ice. Add the whiskey and coffee liqueur, then fill with heavy cream and stir.
2. Peanuts in Coke
An easy, salty-sweet pour. The salt rim brings out the peanut butter even more.
- 2 oz Groovy Voodoo Peanut Butter Whiskey
- Coke, to fill
- Rim the glass with salt
Rim a rocks glass with salt, then fill with ice. Add the whiskey and top with Coke. Sprinkle a little extra salt on top.
3. Groovy Scooby
Named for the chocolate drink it is built on. This one tastes like dessert.
- 2 oz Groovy Voodoo Peanut Butter Whiskey
- Yoo-hoo, to fill
- Optional: caramel or chocolate syrup, swirled in the glass
Fill a glass with ice. Add the whiskey, then top with Yoo-hoo. Swirl in caramel or chocolate syrup if you want it extra rich.
4. Peanut Butter Cup Espresso Martini
The most involved recipe on this list, and worth the extra steps. This one pairs Groovy Voodoo with Ancient Sun Vodka for a peanut butter cup flavor with a coffee kick.
- 1.5 oz Groovy Voodoo Peanut Butter Whiskey
