Autumn Sherry Cobbler
The sherry cobbler was one of the most coveted cocktails of the 1800s. Although the original recipe calls for only dry sherry, a little sugar and a slice of orange, it has seen countless variations over the years. This autumnal rendition includes seasonal cranberry and almond to complement the dry sherry in this 5.8 percent ABV cocktail. Dry and complex, it just may become your new favourite low-proof libation. Easy to make at home!Ingredients
