🥃 Serve in: Old-Fashioned Glass
Sugar, soda water, and lemon get built up with dark rum, then dressed with a maraschino cherry and orange for a genuinely elaborate garnish. The Cobbler format gets credit for popularizing crushed ice in cocktails back in the mid-1800s, which makes this less a drink and more a piece of cocktail history you can actually taste. Refreshing, fruity, unmistakably old-school.
In an old-fashioned glass, dissolve the sugar in the club soda. Add crushed ice until the glass is almost full. Add the rum. Stir well. Garnish with the cherry and the orange and lemon slices.
