Peach Cobbler Cocktail Recipe

I usually make this drink when I’m craving something sweet, smooth, and easy to sip. The mix of bourbon, peach syrup, and cinnamon brings a warm flavor that totally reminds me of real peach cobbler.

It’s great for summer gatherings or just a cozy night at home.

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker for mixing everything together.
• Jigger or a small measuring cup to keep portions in check.
• Fine mesh strainer to catch any ice shards or pulp.
• Bar spoon for the occasional stir.
• Rocks glass or short tumbler to serve it up.
• Ice cubes or crushed ice to keep things chilled.
• Peeler or knife if I feel like adding a peach slice garnish.
• Small saucepan if I’m making homemade peach cobbler syrup.

I like to keep these tools nearby before I start. It just makes everything smoother and helps the drink come out right every time.

Ingredients

• 2 oz bourbon
• 1 oz peach cobbler syrup (or peach syrup plus a drop of vanilla extract)
• ½ oz fresh lemon juice
• 1 dash ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick for garnish
• Ice cubes
• Optional: 2 oz sparkling water if you want it lighter
• Optional: 2 oz peach nectar for a non-alcoholic peach cobbler cocktail

I always reach for ripe peaches when making the syrup. Their sweetness just hits different, especially with the cinnamon and bourbon.

Instructions

• Fill your cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
• Add bourbon, peach cobbler syrup, and lemon juice.
• Shake hard for about 15 seconds to chill it down and mix everything.
• Strain into a rocks glass full of fresh ice.
• Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top or stir with a cinnamon stick.
• For a lighter or non-alcoholic version, use sparkling water or peach nectar instead of bourbon.
• Garnish with a peach slice or a twist of lemon peel.

I usually sneak a taste before serving to check if it needs more syrup or lemon juice. Sometimes it just needs a tiny tweak.

Notes

I swear by homemade peach cobbler syrup for the best flavor. I simmer equal parts sugar and water with sliced peaches, a splash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon until it thickens up.

It keeps in the fridge for about a week, so I usually make a little extra.

If I’m in the mood for a stronger drink, I’ll go with a high-proof bourbon. For something smoother, a lighter bourbon with caramel notes does the trick.

Crushed ice makes it extra refreshing, while big cubes keep it from diluting too quickly. Sometimes I toss in a cinnamon stick for that extra cozy aroma.

Tasting Notes

I take the first sip and it’s warm, smooth, and honestly, the sweetness of ripe peaches jumps out right away. The flavor reminds me of a fresh cobbler—lighter, more refreshing, not heavy at all.

Vanilla and cinnamon bring this gentle spice that plays nicely with the fruit. There’s a hint of caramel from the bourbon, adding this cozy depth that makes me want another taste.

When I swirl the glass, I get a whiff of baked peach and brown sugar. It smells like dessert, but the taste stays balanced—not overly sweet, which I appreciate.

The Peach Cobbler Old Fashioned keeps that classic whiskey vibe but adds a soft, fruity roundness that’s hard not to like. It finishes clean, with a little warmth that lingers just long enough before it fades.
