The Fat Elvis was a specialty drink I had at the Mellow Mushroom in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on New Years 2021. It was really good, so I decided to remake it. It is just a Frozen Banana Daquiri with Peanut Butter Whiskey, a reference to Elvis Presley’s snack of choice, the peanut butter and banana sandwich.
