  • It's good - but you got to love Campari to love this. Maybe good for Negroni lovers. Maybe a little simple would help cut the Campari for those who are not huge fans...or reduce to .5 or try Aperol.

Yes, way to make a tribute to Puerto Rico with St. Lucian rum, Cienfuegos team. I had other nits to pick with the book but that one's so obvious...

Sherry Cobbler

4 oz Sherry
1 T Sugar
2 sli Orange (or 3)
Instructions

Shake everything with shaved ice, pour over fresh ice in a tumbler (or Collins, if you're feeling modern - a julep cup if you're feeling posh), garnish with fresh fruit in season, add straws.

Notes

The sherry can be just about any kind. The sugar can be swapped out for just about any sweetener, as long as it plays well. The orange, which I'm pretty sure gets shaken with the other ingredients, can be swapped out. Just make sure there's a straw and some tasty fruit on top.

Zachary Pearson commented on 10/27/2015:

Curated this. There was a hasty version imported at the dawn of KC time and one posted last night that was effectively the same as this drink, so I merged them both into this, with proper source citations. Want to do Fino + lemon + honey syrup? Sure. Amontillado + prune syrup spiked with Armagnac + orange? You betcha. You can even use a sweet Sherry like Moscatel here, though I'd drop the sugar entirely and add enough acid for balance. Thanks,  Zachary

  • nice, delicate, small volume cocktail
  • The vermouth here really shines and it's an opportunity to showcase a nice or complex vermouth like Ransom's dry vermouth.

The original poster would like help tracking down the source of this drink. There are a lot of cocktails called this, but most look like they're tequila based. Thanks,  Zachary

Pangolindo commented on 2/21/2019:

Used Suze, Mulassano dry vermouth. Very good. Mild. Nice low proof cocktail.  I really think it tastes what a high quality bianco vermouth should taste.

Craig E commented on 2/22/2019:

Curated to add creator and source. Thanks for your detective work @noksagt
