The Sherry Cobbler is a Cocktail which consists of Sherry, Fruit, Sugar, and Shaved Ice.
"Martin Chuzzlewit," Charles Dickens, 1844
"This wonderful invention, Sir...it is called a Cobbler. Sherry Cobbler, when you name it long; Cobbler when you name it short."
"Zanesville Courier," 26th August, 1853
"A sherry cobbler! Bacchus! what a luxury. I believe Satan suggested the thought to me."
Jerry Thomas (1862)
- Take 1 table-spoonful of fine white sugar.
- 1 slice of orange, cut up into quarters.
- 2 small pieces of pineapple.
Fill the glass nearly full of shaved ice, then fill it up with sherry wine. Shake up, ornament the top with berries in season, and serve with a straw.
