Sparkling Strawberry Rum Cobbler

Today we share with you a classic cocktail that is slightly sweet, subtly tart and ever so refreshing! The Cobbler in its original form was a combination of fresh fruit, wine and a bit of sugar served over crushed ice. It was all the rage in the mid 1800’s when the advent of the drinking straw came about. Today we have revived the concept and gave it a tweak or two in what we call the Sparkling Strawberry Rum Cobbler. It is a great prelude to a romantic dinner or perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch.
