Meet the ultimate late-summer-to-fall transition cocktail: The Peach Cobbler Old Fashioned . It’s basically dessert in a glass, no fork required. Think: silky bourbon , nutty almond liqueur, warm cinnamon, and a peach cobbler syrup.

When making your peach syrup, you have two options: fresh raw peaches or grilled peaches. If using grilled peaches, take your ripe peaches and brush them with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon before they hit the grill. The heat caramelizes the fruit, drawing out sweetness and adding a hint of smokiness. A Grilled Peach Old Fashioned gives a caramelized “I’m not ready for summer to be over” vibe that I totally support.
