Summer is the high time for low ABV cocktails and Sherry Cobbler is a delicious alternative to ubiquitous summer spitzes. Laden with fino sherry and aromatic fruit notes makes it into a perfect terrace sipper.

Base of the cocktail is fino sherry with light, aromatic, botanical and slightly acidic notes laying a perfect foundation for a light summer drink. A touch of elderflower liqueur builds and expands on the aromatic dimension with addition of floral tones, further reinforced by the sweet complexity of honey. A healthy addition of grapefruit juice balances out the sweetness with a bitter-tart touch of citrus bringing the cocktail to life. Lastly a bit of pineapple juice gives the drink a nudge into a fruity direction with a bit of well-balanced tart, acidic and sweet kick.

All in all, Sherry Cobbler is a fantastic addition to summer cocktail list, bright refreshing and full of summery flavours. Delicious to the very last drop.
