    Angostura bitters elevate this sweet cocktail to peach pie dessert status, making a peach pie martini the perfect summer (or dreaming of summer) night cap.

    Peach Pie Martinis

    Peach season brings lots of delicious recipes with it, peach salads and jams, but my favorite use for fresh peaches is in cocktails and mocktails - like this peach pie martini!

    Peach syrup can be easily made with just 1 or 2 fresh peaches and the standard white sugar you probably already have in your pantry. Looking for a different sugar to use? Swap the white sugar for brown sugar or honey in the instructions below for an equally delicious cocktail syrup.

    What You Need for a Peach Pie Martini

    The ingredients for peach pie martinis
    • Vodka
    • Peach schnapps/liqueur
    • Peach syrup (recipe below)
    • A lemon
    • Aromatic Bitters
    • Cinnamon and Sugar

    How to Make a Peach Pie Martini

    Run a slice of lemon around the rim of your glass, then roll the rim in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

    Dipping a martini glass rim in a shallow dish of cinnamon and sugar.

    Combine all remaining ingredients in a cocktail shaker full of ice. 

    Shake well.

    Strain into your prepared martini glass. 

    Enjoy!

    How to Make Peach Syrup

    Peach Syrup for cocktails

    2 ripe peaches, sliced
    ½ c sugar
    ½ c water
    0.5 oz lemon juice

    Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat.

    Sliced peaches in a pot

    Bring to boil and reduce to simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 5-10 mins until peaches are extremely soft.

    Peaches, sugar and water cooking in a pot

    Remove from heat and mash peach slices into the liquid. Set aside to cool slightly.

    Mashing cooked peaches in a pot on the stove

    Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl. Pour peach mixture through the sieve, pressing the mixture against the sieve to remove as much liquid as possible from the peaches.

    Discard any peach remnants left in the sieve or use in baking.

    Let the liquid cool completely before using.

    Makes aprox 8 oz of syrup. 

    Tips for Peach Pie Martinis

    Chill your syrup!

    Be sure to make the peach syrup several hours before making your cocktails so it has time to chill before using it.

    Can I use bottled lemon juice?

    Fresh juice is important here. Take the time to squeeze some lemon juice. (You'll need about ½ a lemon for 0.5 oz of juice.) It'll taste better than bottled. Promise!

    How can I garnish this martini?

    Give your glass a cinnamon sugar rim! Combine 1 teaspoon sugar and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow dish. Wet the rim of your glass with a slice of lemon or some water and dip it in the cinnamon sugar mixture. (Do this step before you make your martini.)

    Can I use frozen or canned peaches in the syrup?

    Frozen, yes. Canned, no. Put the frozen peach straight in the pot, and follow the same instructions for peach syrup as outlined above, just add a couple extra minutes to your cook time. Canned fruit don't work well in syrups, so skip those.

    What if I don't have aromatic bitters?

    You can leave out the bitters and still have a great peach martini. The aromatic bitters are what give the cocktail it's "peach pie" vibe, so if you skip the bitters, you're skipping the spices. Angostura aromatic bitters is a great staple to have in your home bar and are readily found in the liquor section of most major grocery stores.

      Katy,
      This looks Delicious!!! Can you explain about bitters? I have never used them before and know little about them. Have you made this drink without the bitters? Is there anything that could be used in place of the bitters?
      Thanks in advance!
      Melissa 😉

        Hi Melissa! You can certainly leave the bitters out if you don't have any on hand. Without the bitters, this is a delicious, sweet, peach martini. The peach pie part comes from the bitters. Aromatic bitters are made with a lot of the flavors and spices that we associate with peach pie - cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon, orange, cloves. When added to this cocktail, they tone down the sweetness just a bit and more so add in the warm spices of peach pie. Hope that helps!!
