Ashley Rose’s Clarified PB&J

This perfectly unreasonable cocktail is nostalgia in a glass, because nothing beats a PB&J with a glass of milk. Unless of course it's in cocktail form. Inspired by Maker’s Mark’s cherry vanilla flavor notes that reminded her of jam, the idea just snowballed from there. And it’s a great excuse for a fun garnish snack! There are two infusions and a clarification for this one, but this cocktail, like most good things, is worth the wait.
