The peanut, or cacahuate as its known in Mexico, is a very versatile ingredient that can be used in savory or sweet dishes, either as a snack or even in a cocktail. In the Mexican state of Veracruz, peanut butter is used in a delicious drink called torito. People also know it as Mexican Irish Cream and it’s the recipe that I’m sharing with you today: a peanut cocktail inspired by the Veracruz drink. Let’s cook!
