Cobblers

MLONF & Co. were at the house on Saturday evening and we had decided to try a new drink. I pulled out the recipe book and picked one at random. What was selected was the Brandy Cobbler.

Ingredients:
2oz Club Soda
1 tsp fine sugar
2oz Brandy
Crushed Ice

Directions:
1) Add Club Soda and Sugar to Low Ball Glass
2) Mix until sugar is dissolved.
3) Add crushed ice to fill the glass.
4) Top with the Brandy and stir.
5) Enjoy.

This turned out to be a refreshing and tasty cocktail. We made more later in the evening, subbing Bourbon for Brandy, thus making Bourbon Cobblers. These were equally good.
