Peach Cobbler Martini might sound interesting to you. However, do you know what a drink like this actually consists of? Probably not. I happened to have some peach schnapps on hand and wanted to create a drink that could incorporate it. I wasn’t quite sure what to mix it with. Sure, there are a ton of ideas on pinterest and google, but how do you narrow down your search to find what you are looking for, when you aren’t sure what you are looking for??
I decided I would use the peach schnapps to make a martini. So, that would mean that I would mix vodka and peach schnapps together. Would I mix anything else with it? And would I want to use a flavored vodka or regular, plain old vodka? Decisions! I searched for some peach martinis to see what they consisted of. It’s amazing that a drink that shares it’s name with numerous other drinks such as a peach martini, can have drastic differences in ingredients and, therefore, taste.
Peach Cobbler
One recipe I found was called a peach cobbler martini. Hmm. I thought that sounded like such a cool name for a drink. Who would expect a martini to have a dessert name? Well, I guess I should have anyway. I do have a martini for a Bananas Foster Martini, after all! Although the recipe I found sounded good, it didn’t sound exactly like what I was searching for. Therefore, I decided to use that recipe as inspiration and created my own peach cobbler martini.
Peach Cobbler is a dish consisting juicy peaches and a buttery cake or biscuits that resemble a thick crusted pie crust. Typically, it is served with vanilla ice cream or a splash of cream and then topped with whipped cream. Sounds scrumptious! How would this peach cobbler martini mimic a crusty dessert though?
Martini Ingredients
In order for this yummy martini to simulate the delightful peach cobbler dessert, it would need a few key ingredients. Of course, peach would be needed. The creaminess of the ice cream needed to be taken into consideration and that is where the whipped cream vodka comes in. Yum! And then you need a little crunch for the cobbler part. And that is where the garnish really brings this cocktail to life! The brown sugar and crushed graham cracker rim is the well needed crumble that a peach cobbler martini needs!
The full list of ingredients is:
Martini
- 2 oz Whipped Cream Vodka
- 2 oz Peach Schnapps or peach liqueur
- 0.5 oz Frangelico or hazlenut liqueur
Glass Garnish
- Caramel Syrup
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1 Graham Cracker Crushed
How To Make
Garnishing The Glass
- Crush the graham cracker and put it on a small plate.
- Add the brown sugar to the plate of crushed graham cracker. Mix together.
- Take caramel syrup and wet the rim with it, covering the entire rim. I put a little dollop on my finger and smeared it on the top of the rim.
- Turn the glass upside and dip the rim into the brown sugar/graham cracker mixture. Make sure to cover the entire rim.
Making The Martini
- Fill a cocktail shaker approximately half way with ice.
- Measure and pour the ingredients into the cocktail shaker.
- Shake vigorously.
- Pour into garnished martini glass.
Drink It In
If you are looking for a drink that is sweet and has a light feeling, this is the perfect choice. It has the luscious taste of juicy peaches and cream with a slight kick from the Frangelico which is a hazelnut liqueur. Seems like a random choice for an ingredient, but the little amount that is in this drink really makes this peach cobbler martini taste more savory and gives the illusion of the peach crumble that you taste in the dessert. It might not make sense, but trust me, it is amazing!
The only bad thing I can say about this yummy martini recipe is that it’s too easy to sip. It tastes so light and it goes down freely. Unfortunately, it will be gone before you know it! Of course, you can always make another one to replace that. Nonetheless, you need to keep the sipping at a slow speed. This delicious martini is all alcohol. Drink it in, but drink it responsibly.
