In their earliest versions, Cobblers and Fixes were wine-based drinks shaken with ice. Over time, they have come to include any number of spirits and mixers served over crushed or cracked ice. The only real distinction is that a Cobbler is 12 ounces, and a Fix, which appeared later in the 20th century, is 8 ounces.
This drink was featured as part of our St. Patty’s Day Recipes photo gallery.

Floating over ice is not uncommon. The most famous was probably the Harvey Wallbanger. Although the spirits will all eventually mingle, the initial taste is quite distinct. -Rob
It seems strange to float one liquor over another in a drink with ice.
