Cocktail of the week: the cobbler’s apprentice – recipe

This take on the classic sherry cobbler is a refreshing, low-ABV cocktail with hints of coffee, making it ideal for brunch or for the start of a night out. It’s a firm favourite at the Apothecary bar.

The cobbler’s apprentice

Serves 1

15ml standard 1:1 sugar syrup
40ml dry fino – we use González Byass Tio Pepe
20ml coffee liqueur – Mr Black or Fair’s café liqueur, for preference
15ml fresh orange juice
15ml fresh lime juice
1 slice orange, to garnish

Pour all the liquids into a tall highball glass, then fill the glass with crushed or cracked ice and give everything a quick churn with a mixing spoon. Top up with more ice, garnish with a slice of orange and serve.
