The Cranberry Cobbler is a Christmas cocktail that was created by Alex Sukopp, former bartender of Sips From Scripts, as a holiday-inspired variation of the Sherry Cobbler. The recipe takes the flavor and style of the classic, which is traditionally made with sherry, simple syrup, and muddled citrus, and turns them up a few notches by using homemade cranberry syrup instead of simple syrup.
Add orange slices and cranberry syrup to a shaker.
Using a muddler, gently muddle orange slices in cranberry syrup for 3-5 seconds.
Add sherry to shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Fill a highball glass with fresh cracked ice.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into highball glass.
Garnish with mint sprig, orange slice, and cranberries.
