The Story of Peanut Liqueur

Peanut liqueur often uses rum as its base. Imagine rum soaking up the delicious flavor of peanuts! This process is called infusion. It's like making tea, but with peanuts and rum instead of tea leaves and water.

Sometimes, peanut liqueurs are also made with creamy ingredients and simple syrup to make them even sweeter and smoother.

There are different brands of peanut liqueur out there. For example, Castries Crème is a brand that mixes the taste of peanuts with brown sugar and cinnamon. It's made with rum, too.

You might also find other drinks that use peanuts, like some peanut-flavored vodkas. Brands like Van Gogh Vodka, NutLiquor, and Peacasso have made these.

Back in the 1960s and 1970s, there was a peanut-based drink called Peanut Lolita. It was a sweet, dessert-style whiskey made with peanuts, but it wasn't very popular and was stopped being made.
