Kiwi Cobbler Cocktail: The Mojito's Exotic Older Sister

The mojito certainly gets the most play of any muddled drink, but others deserve a moment in the spotlight, too. Case in point: this surprising kiwi cobbler cocktail, which builds layer upon layer of flavor thanks to a tequila base and the addition of vanilla bean, sugar, soda water, and freshly muddled mint leaves and kiwi fruit. Watch the video, then print out the recipe and try it for yourself.

Savory Pies: Lamb Cobbler

Feb 20, 2004 I had high hopes for this recipe, but I'm sorry I can't recommend it. One disclaimer: I had to stop halfway through, and resume cooking the next day as I did not have many of the ingredients that I thought I did. Instead of scones, I used refrigerated biscuits for the topping, and they were really good with the Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. But the lamb filling was lacking something, and tasted very gamey. Also, after baking, it turned out very greasy. Both of these are possibly due to the quality of the ground lamb. Even so, I would probably not make this again, as much of it seemed off. I'd sooner make a standard shepherd's pie, maybe with that biscuit topping.

Happy Hour: Kiwi Cobbler

When picnicking this Spring and Summer, don't pack a fruit cobbler; shake up a refreshing cobbler cocktail instead! Consisting of kiwi, mint, vanilla bean, tequila, and club soda, this tequila drink may sound complicated, but its actually easy to make on the go in a mason jar.

Drop all of the ingredients in the bottom of a mason jar and use a wooden muddler to squish the fruit, bruise the mint, and incorporate all of the flavors together.
