With just enough citrus to give acidic lift, “a raspberry cobbler is delicious with amontillado sherry,” says Dan Greenbaum. This is a close copy of the cobbler previously served at The Beagle, a now-closed East Village bar that helped launch the sherry-cocktail revolution, and where Greenbaum manned the bar.
