The Brandy Cobbler is the noble cognac version of the famous cobbler principle. Distilled wine, sugar and orange combine over crushed ice into a fruity, smooth drink. Garnished with berries and mint, it becomes an elegant summer aperitif.
Instructions
- Lightly muddle sugar, water and orange slices in the shaker.
- Add cognac and a few ice cubes.
- Shake hard for about 15 seconds.
- Strain into a wine glass filled with crushed ice.
- Garnish with an orange slice, berries and mint, and serve with a straw.
Garnish: Orange slice, berries and mint
Pro tip: Use a fruity cognac - its soft grape and vanilla notes pair perfectly with the orange in the cobbler.
