It’s day five of #BBQweek and day three of BBQ Fest in Memphis (where I traveled for the week)! In honor of the overlap, I had to make something Elvis-inspired.

Are you familiar with an Elvis Sandwich? It’s a grilled peanut butter, banana, and sometimes bacon sandwich. Occasionally honey is drizzled in there as well. At first I had considered making a peanut butter and banana bread pudding, and have made Elvis rice crispy treats in the past, but then I saw the peanut butter whiskey eyeing me from our bar cart and I knew what I had to do.

Elvis Old Fashioned Ingredients:

• Peanut butter whiskey
• Banana liqueur
• Honey
• Orange bitters
• Large ice cube
• Bacon and banana, for garnish
• Rainier Foods Smoky Honey Seasoning & Rub on the rim

This cocktail tasted just like I would imagine a peanut butter and banana old fashioned would taste and was actually the perfect accompaniment to the meal of smoked burgers and watermelon cucumber salad that I made for day one and three of #BBQweek. I just may need to make another while I am in Memphis this week!
