A Brief History of Cosmopolitan
The Cosmopolitan, an iconic cocktail, gained popularity in the 1990s. Its rise to fame was largely due to television shows like “Sex and the City”, where it was often the drink of choice. The classic cocktail, typically made with vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice, and triple sec, became synonymous with sophistication and glamour.
Our Cupid’s Cosmo is a delightful twist on this classic cocktail. With the addition of a few special ingredients, we’ve managed to transform this already wonderful drink into something truly magical. Prepare to be smitten by Cupid’s arrow!
The Magic of Mixing
The art of making a cocktail is much like conducting a symphony. Each ingredient plays its part, contributing to the harmonious blend of flavors. In a Cosmopolitan, the sourness of the lime juice perfectly complements the sweetness of the cranberry juice and triple sec, while the vodka adds an unmistakable kick.
Our Cupid’s Cosmo takes this harmony a step further with the introduction of raspberry liqueur and a splash of prosecco. The raspberry liqueur adds a delightful fruitiness while the prosecco brings a festive fizz to the party. This combination is what makes our cocktail truly divine.
The Perfect Cosmo Glass
In cocktail making, the glass is more than just a vessel. It is an integral part of the cocktail experience. The classic Cosmo is typically served in a chilled martini glass. Its wide-brimmed design allows for the drink’s aroma to reach the nose, enhancing the overall taste sensation.
For our Cupid’s Cosmo, we recommend a chilled coupe glass. Its rounded shape and stem make it ideal for sipping this bubbly cocktail. The glass is also easier to handle when filled with the cocktail’s garnish of fresh raspberries and a twist of lemon peel.
