Peanuts are not commonly used in cocktails in their raw form, but they can be incorporated as an ingredient through peanut-infused spirits or syrups. Peanuts add a distinct, nutty flavor to cocktails and can be used to create interesting, savory drink profiles. Peanut butter-infused bourbon or vodka is sometimes used in specialty cocktails, offering a rich, creamy texture and the familiar taste of peanuts. These peanut-flavored drinks are often paired with ingredients that complement their warmth and richness, such as chocolate or banana liqueurs, making for a decadent cocktail experience.
