Jamaican Peanut Punch is a bold, creamy, and satisfying drink that blends roasted peanuts with condensed milk, vanilla, nutmeg, and sometimes oats or a splash of stout. Thick, smooth, and lightly spiced, it’s a popular choice for anyone looking for a tasty energy boost or a protein-packed treat.
Rooted in Jamaican street and home cooking, peanut punch has long been favoured for its nourishing properties and is often marketed as a “man strength” drink. Over time, it’s become a favourite across the island, loved for both its flavour and its richness.
You’ll often find it served chilled at food shops, jerk spots, or made fresh at home—especially on weekends or alongside a hearty meal. It can be made non-dairy too, using nut milks and natural sweeteners.
Unusual fact: In Jamaica, peanut punch is sometimes blended with Irish moss or sea moss gel for an extra mineral boost, turning a simple drink into a powerhouse of island nutrition!
Thick, nutty, and full of flavour—Jamaican Peanut Punch is a drink that satisfies and fuels with every sip.
When I first migrated to Canada, cooking wasn't really my thing. But the longing for the rich flavors of home—and the reality of feeding a household of six—pushed me to learn how to make quick, easy Jamaican meals with just a few simple ingredients. Over time, cooking became more than a necessity—it became a joy.
Like a true Jamaican, my favorite part of cooking is sharing meals and seeing the happiness they bring to others. Even better? Inviting others into my kitchen—especially those who believed Jamaican food was too hard to make—and showing them how easy and fun it can be.
Now, I want to share that same experience with you and your loved ones, right in the comfort of your own home. Let's bring the joy of authentic Jamaican cooking to your kitchen, one simple, delicious meal at a time.
