Mother Handsome's Pineau Cobbler

Be the first to rate & review!

This refreshing cocktail from Will Thompson is filled with chunks of fresh cantaloupe. It pays homage to Mother Handsome, a 19th-century Michigan innkeeper. Her name was perversely affectionate in the same way that calling a big guy "Tiny" is.
