15 Romolo’s Sherry Cobbler

Andrew Meltzer, 15 Romolo |San Francisco

Given its low proof, sherry runs the risk of being over-diluted in long drinks. Here, however, amontillado, manzanilla and cream sherries are able to stand up to a mound of crushed ice and fresh citrus as the base of this take on the classic Sherry Cobbler.
