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.
