Peach Cobbler Martini

Ingredients

Instructions

A Peach Cobbler Martini is a delightful cocktail that combines the sweet and fruity flavors of peach with the warm and nutty notes of Frangelico liqueur, all complemented by the smoothness of vanilla vodka and a hint of citrusy brightness from lemon juice.

Optional Garnish:

• Rim the martini glass with a mixture of crushed graham crackers and cinnamon sugar for added texture and flavor.

Preparation:

1. Begin by preparing the optional garnish. Combine crushed graham crackers and cinnamon sugar on a small plate. Moisten the rim of a martini glass with a lemon wedge or water, then gently dip the rim into the graham cracker and cinnamon sugar mixture to coat it.

2. In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes.

3. Pour in 1.5 ounces of vanilla vodka, 2.5 ounces of peach juice, 0.5 ounce of Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur), and 0.5 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

4. Securely close the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This will chill the mixture and ensure all the ingredients are well combined.

5. Strain the cocktail into the prepared martini glass, making sure not to disturb the rim garnish.

6. Optionally, garnish the Peach Cobbler Martini with a slice of fresh peach, a lemon twist, or a cocktail cherry for an extra touch of elegance.

The Peach Cobbler Martini is a harmonious blend of flavors. The peach juice provides a sweet and fruity base, while the vanilla vodka adds a creamy and subtly sweet note. The hazelnut liqueur (Frangelico) contributes a warm and nutty richness, reminiscent of baked goods, and the touch of lemon juice provides a refreshing and balanced acidity. If you've rimmed the glass with crushed graham crackers and cinnamon sugar, each sip will have a delightful hint of spice and texture, resembling the crust of a peach cobbler dessert. It's a sophisticated and indulgent cocktail that captures the essence of a classic Southern dessert in a martini glass. Enjoy responsibly!
