Sherry Cobbler

Victorian afternoon

Glass Wine
Method Shaken
Garnish orange slice, berries, and mint sprig

A pre-Prohibition icon: a single sherry shaken with citrus and sugar, served over crushed ice. Light, fruity, and incredibly refreshing; this drink popularized the drinking straw. (The IBA spec pairs Amontillado with Palo Cortado; the standard cobbler uses one sherry.)

Ingredients

  • 3 oz Amontillado Sherry
  • 1 tsp Simple Syrup
  • 2 slices Orange Slice

Method

Add the sherry, simple syrup, and orange slices to a shaker with ice. Shake briskly. Strain into a wine glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with an orange slice, seasonal berries, and a mint sprig. Serve with a straw.
