Cobblers are a very old but delicious and elegant family of drinks appearing in prominent books of the period; 1850-1870, such as The Bon-Vivant's Companion or How to Mix Drinks. They are the perfect Christmas tipple so splash out on your family and friends this festive season and buy some premium ingredients like De Kuyper Liqueurs and Pol Roger Champagne. Because remember your drinks are only as good as their weakest ingredient. And I'm not talking about alcohol content. Have a fun and happy Christmas one and all and be extra safe on the roads. See you all in 2012.

Ingredients:
120ml Pol Roger Brut Reserve NV Champagne

25ml De Kuyper Marasquin Liqueur

1 slice orange

1 lemon wedge

1 fresh, skinless pineapple wedge

Method:
Muddle the fruit and maraschino liqueur in the bottom of a bar glass. Add ice and champagne, stir gently and strain into a champagne flute.

Garnish:
Garnish with flamed orange peel, and serve.

For a touch of colour sink 5-10ml of De Kuyper Cherry Brandy XO and garnish with some floating fresh summer berries. This drink can be served tall over crushed ice also.
