Sherry Cobbler

Take half a tumblerful of ice rasped into fine shavings. Add two moderate-sized lumps of sugar which have been rubbed upon the yellow part of half a lemon, then crushed to powder, and two glassfuls of sherry. Stir all briskly together, or pass the mixture quickly from one glass to another, and drink the liquor through a straw or glass tube. When time is a consideration, the cobbler can be flavoured by mixing with the ice a quarter of a lemon, or a quarter of an orange cut into small pieces, and adding a spoonful of powdered sugar. By way of variety, a cupful of strawberries or rasp-berries and a table-spoonful of Curacoa, may be substituted for the lemon.
