Brandy Cobbler Cocktail Recipe

This is more a blueprint than a recipe, and the same proportions can be made with other dark spirits (i.e. dark rum, bourbon, or blended whiskey). This is also a great drink to tinker with different brandies, seasonal fruit, and sweeteners. Some recipes only have the fruit as a garnish, but I like to muddle some into the bottom of the glass prior to adding the crushed ice.

Jordan’s first liquor of choice was gin, but mostly because a gin and tonic is such an easy drink–both to make and to drink. Although he still regularly enjoys a dry Martini or Negroni, he is now firmly in the brown water camp. A great deal of his “drinking knowledge” he learns by osmosis from family and friends with actual professional bona fides.
