Dark and Stormy Skrewball Cocktail

Dark and Stormy Skrewball Cocktail

Dark and Stormy Skrewball Cocktail
A delicious cocktail recipe I dreamed up during an evening thunderstorm that combines the wonderful flavors of Skrewball peanut butter flavored whiskey with Kahlua rum and coffee liqueur. I paired this with a slice of grilled pound cake, topped with a dollop of peanut butter whiskey infused whipped mascarpone cream and some of our Unicoi Preserves Strawberry Vanilla Spread.
Servings Prep Time
2 servings 30 minutes
Cook Time
6 minutes
Ingredients
Dark and Stormy Skrewball Cocktail
  • 2 ounces Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey
  • 1 ounce Kahlua Rum and Coffee Liqueur
  • 1 old fashioned glass
  • 1 large cube cocktail ice cube
Grilled Pound Cake with Skrewball Mascarpone Cream
  • 1 8 ounce container Mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 4 teaspoons Powdered Sugar

  • 1 loaf pound cake
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 jar Unicoi Preserves Strawberry Vanilla Spread
Servings: servings
Instructions
Dark and Stormy Skrewball Cocktail
  1. Place 2 ounces of Skrewball Whiskey into a cocktail shaker. Add 1 ounce Kahlua Liqueur and shake to combine. Place a single large cocktail ice cube into an old fashioned cocktail glass. Pour cocktail over ice cube and serve immediately.
Skrewball Mascarpone Whipped Cream
  1. Combine mascarpone cheese, whipping cream, powdered sugar and Skrewball whiskey in a clean, medium sized mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until needed, up to 2 days ahead.
Prepare Pound Cake
  1. Preheat cast iron or non-stick skillet on medium heat. Cut pound cake into 3/4 inch thick slices and butter both sides of the cake slices evenly. Toast each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and place on dessert plate. Alternatively, you can toast the buttered pound cake slices on your grill. Grill over direct heat, 2-3 minutes a side to toast the cake and allow grill marks to form.
    Prepare and Serve
  • Top each slice of grilled pound cake with a dollop of Skrewball mascarpone cream and a spoonful of Unicoi Preserves Strawberry Vanilla Spread. Serve alongside Dark and Stormy Skrewball cocktail. Enjoy!

PB&J Quarantine Cocktail

PB&J Quarantine Cocktail

PB & J Quarantine Cocktail
A fun and tasty cocktail using Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey to pair with the ultimate PB & J sandwich made with Unicoi Preserves Strawberry Vanilla Spread.
Servings Prep Time
1 drink 5 minutes
Ingredients
  • 3 oz. Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey
  • 12 oz. strawberry Bubly sparkling water
  • 1 slice bread, toasted
  •  Unicoi Preserves Strawberry Vanilla Spread
  •  peanut butter
  •  Strawberries, for garnish
Servings: drink
Instructions
  1. To make the drink: If you have ice cube trays, freeze a strawberry in each cube earlier in the day. If you don't have ice cube trays, just put some regular ice in highball glass. Pour 3 oz. Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey over the ice. Top with strawberry Bubly sparkling water and stir.
  2. Do you need instructions to make the PB & J sandwich? Not judging, we're all just trying to survive a pandemic and some days, even making a sandwich is hard.
  3. Cut toast in thirds. Spread peanut butter on one of the thirds, then spread that with Unicoi Preserves Strawberry Vanilla Spread. Repeat. Stack those two slices together, then top with the naked piece of bread to make a triple decker PB & J. Stab with a fancy toothpick if you have it.

Just Peachy Ribs

Just Peachy Ribs

Just Peachy Ribs
These delicious pork spare ribs are dry rubbed, slow cooked over hickory and cherry and then glazed with our Salted Caramel Peach Spread. I have included my rub recipe here, or feel free to use your favorite commercial rub.
Servings Prep Time
6 people 30 minutes
Cook Time
3 hours
Ingredients
Rib Rub
  • 6 TBLS Turbinado Sugar
  • 4 TBLS Kosher Salt
  • 4 TBLS Paprika
  • 2 TBLS Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 TBLS Granulated Garlic
  • 2 TBLS Onion Powder
  • 1 TBLS Ground Cumin
  • 2 tsp Dry Mustard
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp Chipotle Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
Rib Ingredients
  • 3 racks Pork Spare Ribs
  • 3 jars Unicoi Preserves Salted Caramel Peach Spread one jar per rack of ribs
  • 1 roll aluminum foil
  • 4 chunks Hickory wood for smoke flavor
  • 4 chunks Cherry wood for smoke color, aka smoke ring
Servings: people
Instructions
Rub Preparation
  1. Combine all rub ingredients together in a shaker top jar and mix thoroughly.
Smoker Preparation
  1. Set up your grill or smoker for indirect cooking. I use our large Big Green Egg to cook these ribs, so I set the Egg up with the conveggtor in, legs up, with the grate on top. I use a mixture of hickory and cherry hardwood chunks for smoke mixed in with the lump charcoal. Light the grill and set your temperature for 250-275 degrees. I cook these at 275 to shorten the cooking time, but that is your choice. If you cook at 250, you will need to increase your cook time a bit to compensate for the lower temperature.
Rib Preparation
  1. Remove the silver skin from the underside of the rib rack. I use a paring knife to loosen the membrane, and then grab it with a paper towel and pull it completely off. I like to cut each slab in half to better fit them on my large Big Green Egg, and to make handling easier. Liberally coat each rack of ribs with the prepared rub on all sides, making sure to get the edges as well.
Cooking
  1. I use rib racks to stand the ribs up vertically so they all fit on my grate. I cook the ribs indirect at 275 degrees for roughly 2 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees. I flip the ribs over one time in the rib racks during cooking. Once the ribs reach 175 degrees, remove them from the smoker.
    Saucing
    1. Coat each rack liberally with the Salted Caramel Peach Spread on both sides. Place each coated rack on aluminum foil and wrap tightly. I stack two half racks on top of each other in each foil packet. Return the foil wrapped ribs to the grill, and cook for 45 minutes, flipping the packs over once. Remove the ribs from the foil packets, and place the ribs directly on the grill grates to tighten up and set the glaze, 5 minutes per side
      Optional Sauce Step
      1. This step is optional, but I think it takes the ribs to the next level. Once you remove the ribs from the foil packets, carefully pour off the remaining liquid into a sauce pan. Bring the reserved liquid to a boil over medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Use this sauce and baste the ribs liberally with a silicone brush while the ribs are on the grill for the last 10 minutes. Remove the ribs from the grill and serve immediately.
