The cobbler is, like the Julep, a drink of American origin, although it is now an established favourite, particularly in warm climes. It is very easy to make, but it is usual to make it acceptable to the eye, as well as the palate, by decorating the glass after the ingredients are mixed. The usual recipe for preparing Cobblers is given below. To make a Whisky Cobbler substitute Whisky for Gin, For a Brandy Cobbler, substitute Brandy, and so on.

  • Fill glass half full with cracked ice.
  • Add 1 Teaspoonful of Powdered Sugar.
  • Add 1 Small Glass of Gin (or Whisky, or Brandy, as above).

Stir well, and decorate with slices of orange or pineapple.
