“I’ve always said this is the best cocktail I’ve ever created,” says Alex Jump of her peanut butter Daiquiri, a drink she’s kept in her back pocket for years after first trying something similar in Puerto Rico, tinkering with the formula every now and again. “This is kind of like my 2.0 version,” she says. In the cocktail, peanut butter-infused rum is complemented by banana liqueur. Says Jump, “It’s so pleasant, it kind of tastes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.”
