My husband is my favorite person. He’s kind. He’s funny. And he makes awesome cocktails. Meet the Kentucky Cobbler!

In honor of National Blueberry Month, sweet-tart blueberries are muddled with agave nectar and lemon juice, then shaken with generous amounts of bourbon and brandy. Poured over ice, it’s a beautiful sipping drink fit for any occasion, sweet and distinctly blueberry-ed, but with a slow warmth underneath.

If we had served these on a patio while the last rays of a setting sun painted our perfect outfits gold, I would have voted for a classy lemon twist garnish. Since our group was sitting on couches, drifting through the galley kitchen, and trying to win the my-day-was-worse game while petting the dog, we garnished with kitschy umbrella straws. Know your audience.

What do I eat with a Kentucky Cobbler?

We paired these drinks with salad: spring mix, seared chicken, blueberries, toasted almonds, coconut white balsamic vinaigrette, and creamy goat cheese. The resulting mix of textures and smoky-sweet-clean flavors created a light yet substantial meal that perfectly matched the Kentucky Cobblers.
