Champagne Cobbler

Champagne Cobbler

The Champagne Cobbler is a riff on the ancient Sherry Cobbler, and its origins are likewise shrouded in mystery. The recipe is at least one hundred years old, and probably closer to two.

The recipe is flexible; even though it’s called a Champagne Cobbler, it works with any sparkling wine you prefer, however sweet or dry you like it. And you can use any berry you like as a garnish; even the tartest berries will soak up the alcohol and sugar for a tasty treat at the end of the drink.

Older recipes called for granulated sugar instead of simple syrup. You can use regular table sugar, but we prefer simple syrup as it’s easier to incorporate. If you do, reduce the amount of granulated sugar to half and add a bit of water before you muddle.

Ingredients

Instructions

Gently muddle the citrus slices and simple syrup at the bottom of a short glass. Fill the glass with crushed ice, top with sparkling wine, and garnish with fresh mint and in-season berries.

An awesome cocktail app with curated recipes

I'm shocked that there are no reviews listed for this app. I found it on reddit's cocktails forum. The drink list in this app is much shorter than in many of the other apps I've seen, but the quality and reliability of the recipes is much much higher. These are more like the drinks you would get at a good mixology bar instead of the drink equivalent of your aunt's jello fruit mold that people just "love." I much prefer a list of cocktails that are reliable, good and repeatable than a huge pile of garbage recipes. This app is great and delivers great, reliable cocktails.
