The Whiskey Cobbler transfers the refreshing cobbler principle to a bolder base. Bourbon, sugar and orange melt over crushed ice into a fruity-spicy drink that, despite its spirit, stays wonderfully easy to drink. A classic for whiskey lovers who like it refreshing.
Instructions
- Lightly muddle sugar, water and orange slices in the shaker.
- Add whiskey and a few ice cubes.
- Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
- Strain into a wine glass filled with crushed ice.
- Garnish with orange slice, berries and mint and serve with a straw.
Garnish: Orange slice, berries and mint
Pro tip: A mild bourbon with vanilla and caramel notes harmonizes especially beautifully with the orange and rounds out the cobbler.
