Savor the perfect blend of sherry wine and berry sweetness in our very own original Sherry Berry Cobbler Cocktail creation. Shake up sophistication today!

When it’s still over 90 degrees for the foreseeable future, it calls for a Sherry Berry Cocktail recipe on repeat! If you’re not familiar with sherry cobblers or sherry in general, you are in for a treat.

My, Ashley Conway’s first experience with sherry was reading Edgar Allen Poe’s The Cask of Amontillado in 9th grade. And then I didn’t come across it again for another 12 years. I saw amontillado sherry on a spirits list at a cocktail bar in SanFrancisco and could only think of literature class.

Unlike Poe’s writing, Amontillado Sherry is dry and nutty. So maybe it’s exactly like Poe’s writing! Needless to say, I loved it.

Sherry cocktails are perfect for sipping by the pool, at a picnic, or just on the couch enjoying the air conditioning. Since summer is berry season, I decided to use a variety of fresh, plump berries to create this Sherry Berry cocktail recipe.

It has raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries that are muddled to give this ruby-hued drink a sweet-tart bite. After mixing and pouring, be sure to add more crushed ice on top, performing your best balancing act before garnishing.

What is Sherry?

Sherry is a delicious fortified wine (sometimes oxidized). Because of the aging, fortification, and the purposeful oxidization, it has a nutty characteristic with rich fruit notes.

It’s perfect for mixing in the classic cocktail, the Sherry Cobbler. The Sherry Cobbler is a refreshing, long drink with a variety of fruit mixed in, not far off from a Pimm’s Cup.

Recipe Notes and Tips

Berry variety: Experiment with different berries to find your favorite combination. Strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are classic choices, but feel free to mix it up with blueberries or cherries for added complexity.
Muddling technique: When muddling the berries, be gentle to avoid crushing the seeds, which can make the drink bitter. Aim to release the juices and flavor without pulverizing the fruit.
Sweetness level: Taste the cocktail before adding the full amount of simple syrup. Sherry wines vary in sweetness, so you may need more or less sweetener depending on the specific sherry you’re using.
Make ahead: You can pre-muddle the berries and mix the sherry, simple syrup, and lemon juice ahead of time for easy assembly when serving. Just be sure to keep everything chilled until ready to serve.
