The Sherry Cobbler Cocktail
About the Sherry Cobbler Cocktail
Chill down with this old-school low-alcohol sipper.
Ingredients in the Sherry Cobbler Cocktail
- .25 oz Simple syrup (one part sugar, one part water)
- 3 oz Dry amontillado sherry (Lustau)
- 1 Orange half-wheel
Garnish: Orange wheel
Glass: Highball
How to make the Sherry Cobbler Cocktail
Add all the ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake brutally (this will muddle the orange) and strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice. Pierce another orange wheel with a straw and insert both into the drink. (Note: If using a sweeter sherry, use less sugar in the simple syrup.)
This looks like a really nice way to introduce someone to sherry. Personally, I’m really happy with just the Amontillado, which was often the aperitif of choice in my family when I was growing up. (Seriously, my parents introduced me to wine when I was about 10).
This looks so easy to make to sip all day in the shade in the summer heat. Simple cocktails are often the best & this is such a nice way to try out Amontillado sherry.
