Skrewball Launches Peanut Butter Whiskey Hard Marble Soda

Skrewball just took its peanut butter whiskey into the world of marble soda, and it spent about a year proving the idea in Japan first. The brand is launching Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey Hard Soda in the US in October 2026, in two states, with New Jersey confirmed as one of them. It is billed as the first peanut butter whiskey marble soda, and pre-sale has already started.

Did You Know?

You open the bottle by pressing the glass marble down into the neck. That is the signature trick of marble sodas.
Skrewball tested this exact concept in Japan for roughly a year before bringing it home.
This is a first. No other peanut butter whiskey has been packaged as a marble soda.

The Release

Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey Hard Soda is a whiskey-based ready-to-drink, bottled at 10% ABV (alcohol by volume, or about 20 proof). It comes in a 200ml glass marble-soda bottle, a small, collectible-looking format that is part of the appeal.

There are two flavors at launch: Peanut Butter Apple and Peanut Butter Raspberry. Both pair the brand's peanut butter whiskey character with a fruit note, which is a familiar combination for anyone who grew up on peanut butter and fruit sandwiches.

This is the first peanut butter whiskey marble soda, and it arrives in the US after a roughly year-long test run in Japan.

One important clarification: this is not the PB&J cans. This is a separate product with its own format and flavors.

The Story of Skrewball

Skrewball is the best-selling peanut butter whiskey in the world, according to Nielsen, the market research firm that tracks retail sales. The brand helped turn peanut butter whiskey from a novelty into a real category, and it is now stretching that idea into new formats.

The hard soda follows that pattern. Skrewball has moved beyond the standard bottle into ready-to-drink products, and this release leans into packaging and pop culture rather than just a new flavor.

Why It Stands Out

Three trends meet in this release. Nostalgic flavors keep winning with drinkers, experiential packaging gives people a reason to pick up and share a bottle, and Asian pop culture is influencing how American brands design and market products. A marble-top bottle that has to be pressed open fits all three. The Japan test run suggests the brand did its homework before the US rollout.

The Details

Style: Whiskey-based hard soda (ready-to-drink)
ABV/Proof: 10% ABV
Size: 200ml glass marble-soda bottle
Flavors: Peanut Butter Apple, Peanut Butter Raspberry
Availability: Two US states at launch, including New Jersey; pre-sale is open
Release Date: October 2026

Tonights Poison Take

Skrewball has a loyal base and a flavor that already gets people talking. A small, playful bottle at 10% ABV is a low-risk way to try it, and the Japan test run suggests there is real thought behind the format. The limited two-state rollout should make the early bottles a bit of a conversation piece.

Bar Talk: Skrewball, the world's top-selling peanut butter whiskey, just made the first peanut butter whiskey marble soda, and Japan got it first.
