Sherry Cobbler
Forget apple pie and baseball, the Sherry Cobbler is the true distillation of American patriotism. Made with sherry, crushed ice, sugar and orange slices, it was one of the first official cocktails to be created in the U.S. and proved to be wildly popular during the 1800s—not only in the States but around the world, from Australia to Panama to Europe. According to the book Imbibe, by cocktail historian David Wondrich, it was such a hit at one bar in France that they were going through “500 bottles of sherry a day.” While we don’t recommend drinking that much sherry, we do recommend drinking at least one of these delightfully simple cocktails. We guarantee that you’ll already be making your second before you’re even finished with your first.
