Peach Cobbler Cocktail Recipe
There are so many ways to make a peach cobbler cocktail and the way you choose to make it is up to you. I prefer to make ice-cold peach cobbler martinis with a cinnamon sugar rim and loaded with lots of vodka and Frangelico, but you may choose to make yours a peach cobbler cocktail made with a hearty bourbon and peach nectar, served on the rocks instead. It truly is up to your descretion.

Peach Cobbler Martini Recipe
These peach cobbler martinis are so magically refreshing especially on a scorching southern summer day. They taste just like a bite of fresh peach cobbler and can be enjoyed as a sweet libation for a girly get-together or as an after-dinner drink at a fancy dinner party. As noted above, you could always make peach cobbler martinis w/ vodka and peach cobbler cocktails w/ bourbon, and let your guests choose which they wished to be served.
The hubs even liked them, and he doesn't drink liquor! So that's saying something, y'all.
Now take note: You *MUST* include the cinnamon brown sugar rim on these peach cobbler martinis. They are a NECESSITY when it comes to the flavor of the drink. Without the sugared rims, well, something something was just missing, and it left the martinis feeling a bit lackluster.
With that being said, these drinks can be a bit on the sweet side, so if you aren't a bit fan of sweet, you can always cut the sweetness, I suggest either adding a splash of prosecco OR a bit of club soda. That should do the trick.
