11 Sherry Cobbler Recipes To Try

Versatile and easy-drinking, the Sherry Cobbler remains as beloved today as it was more than a century ago. In his 1888 Bartender’s Manual, Harry Johnson noted the cocktail was “without doubt the most popular beverage in the country,” and Charles Dickens famously name-checked the drink in The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit. This enduring popularity is due in part to the formula’s simplicity—sherry, sugar, and seasonal fresh fruit—which invites creative interpretation.
