Jimmy Carter was the 39th president of the US, a Nobel Peace Prize award winner, and was known for his tireless dedication to volunteerism, philanthropy, and to his wife, Rosalynn.
But whenever we hear “Jimmy Carter” the first thing we think of is peanuts.
But why peanuts: "Near the end of the primaries, when it became apparent that Jimmy Carter’s campaign was more than “just peanuts” (the expression used for something meager) books about peanuts and peanut butter began to appear. In Plains, GA, the growing of peanuts is their major agricultural industry. Peanuts there are what corn is to Iowa, cheese is to Wisconsin, and grapes are to France.
Soon after the election, in the wake of the continued attention paid to the peanut, Vic Cappelle of a restaurant in Fond Du Lac, WI, composed a drink named a Jimmy Carter"
Blend together:
1 oz white creme de cacao
1 oz of your favorite bourbon
1 tsp creamy peanut butter
crushed ice
Serve with a peanut garnish
First sip: tastes like bourbon
Second sip: tastes like chocolate
Third sip: and there is a blob of peanut butter
As you drink you randomly you get a swirl of smooth peanut butter. Not with every sip–just some. It’s like peanut butter roulette.
