The Sherry Cobbler dates back to the early 19th century, with its first known mention in print in 1838. This cocktail became wildly popular in America during the 1800s, even making a cameo in Charles Dickens' 'The Old Curiosity Shop.' Its signature feature—serving over crushed ice and garnished with fresh fruit—helped popularize the use of the drinking straw. Once considered the height of sophistication, the Sherry Cobbler remains a beloved classic, celebrated for its cooling, approachable taste.
