The Sherry Cobbler is an American cocktail that dates back to the mid-19th century, or is it?? This cocktail was immensely popular during the 1800s and is often credited with popularizing the use of ice in drinks, as well as the drinking straw.
We have David Wondrich to thank for finding out where the Sherry Cobbler was first mentioned. Although so many people think it’s American, it actually was from a diary of a Canadian who speak of it while in the U.S.
Still it is more likely to have been English, as it was seen in Dickens’ The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-44). “Sherry Cobbler when you name it long; cobbler, when you name it short.’” So who knows!
