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.

Fruity Refreshing

The Rum Cobbler is a 19th-century style drink built on dark rum, superfine sugar dissolved in club soda, fresh lemon, and orange, served over crushed ice and garnished with a maraschino cherry. Cobblers are among the oldest cocktail categories in American drinking history, prized for their fresh fruit presentation. The use of dark rum gives this version a rich, molasses-tinged base.

History & Origins

Cobblers date to the early 19th century in the United States and were originally made with wine or spirits, sugar, fruit, and ice — a novelty when ice was a luxury. The Rum Cobbler is a direct heir to this tradition, with dark rum substituting for the wine or sherry common in earlier recipes. The exact origin of the rum variation is disputed, though it appears in American bartending guides from the late 1800s onward.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Dark rum brings molasses and vanilla notes alongside fresh citrus from lemon and orange. Palate: Lightly sweet and citrus-forward, with the dark rum's caramel depth emerging mid-palate; club soda keeps the profile bright and refreshing. Finish: Clean and gently sweet, with a lingering orange and cherry note from the garnish.

Pro Tip

Use crushed ice to fill the glass so the fruit garnishes stand upright and the drink stays well-chilled throughout.
