The Gin Cobbler is basically superfine sugar, gin and soda water over ice, garnished lavishly with fruit. I didn’t really understand why the word ‘cobbler’ was used, but definition 3 for cobbler at dictionary.com is “an iced drink made of wine or liquor, fruits, sugar, etc.”
Diagnosis: refreshing. A little boring after all the drinks I’ve made so far.
Note: Did you notice definition 5 of “cobbler?” It is “mummichog.” I looked up mummichog and it is apparently some sort of brackish water fish. Now that is an interesting sounding drink – The Gin Mummichog. Once I’ve learned how to mix all these drinks and start making up my own, I think I’ll give this one a try.
