Chica-Chida Peanut Butter Agave Spirit
Chica-Chida Peanut Butter Agave Spirit is the Jalisco-made peanut butter shot spirit launched in 2024 by Barstool Sports comedian Caleb Pressley with Piermont Brands. The base is a Mexican espadin agave spirit distilled in Tequila, Jalisco, blended with an allergen-free peanut butter extract and bottled at 32% ABV (64 proof) in a 750mL bottle — a step down from tequila strength, because it is made from espadin rather than Blue Weber agave, that turns the burn into something closer to dessert. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Peanut Butter, Butt Better
Chica-Chida began when spirits veteran Brian Axelrod handed Pressley a sample and he decided the world needed a peanut butter agave shot. The brand leans into the joke — hand-drawn label, the motto "respect la hora mera" — but the liquid is built properly: roasted peanut butter up front with the earthy, cooked-agave backbone underneath keeping it from going syrupy.

Tasting Notes
Roasted peanut butter and a little salt on the nose, with cooked agave underneath. The palate is smooth and nutty — peanut butter first, earthy agave second — and the finish is clean and quick, built to make the second round inevitable.
How to Enjoy
Serve it chilled as a shot, its natural home. It also makes a standout peanut butter espresso martini, a peanut butter Old Fashioned, or a float over a cold chocolate stout. See more spirits at Del Mesa Liquor.
