Sherry Cobbler

Print Recipe

A classic American cocktail took a turn for the crazy in Mebourne’s gold rush years.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g Sherry – I used Fino
  • Crushed ice – about half a tray of ice blocks
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 3 strawberries, 2 chopped, one left whole for garnish
  • 1 orange
  • Nutmeg, to sprinkle
  • Macaroni (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the end off the orange, then slice a round from it to form the garnish. Segment the rest of the orange, removing the pith.
  2. Stir the sherry with the caster sugar until the sugar melts. Add the chopped strawberries and orange segments.
  3. Fill your cup with crushed ice, pour the sherry and fruit mixture over the top.
  4. Garnish with the whole strawberry and orange slice.
  5. Sprinkle some ground nutmeg over the top.
  6. For authenticity, drink through a macaroni straw.
  7. Enjoy!
