Finnish Liberation Cosmopolitan, Tom Savano

No cocktail is more instantly recognisable and iconic than the vibrant Cosmopolitan. Conceived at the dawn of the gay rights movement, it embodied the essence of the time. Most importantly, it became an icon of empowerment through it’s unashamedly cerise pink colour, and some even credit the rise in cocktail culture to the popularity of this one drink alone.

These days, the Cosmo is the perfect cocktail to refresh and excite your palate, leaving you hungering for more of that subtle combination of tart cranberry, sour lime and sweet orange, layered over smooth, creamy vodka.

Served glacial cold and straight up, this is a cocktail you can drink all evening, but watch out for the kick! Picture yourself in a bustling upmarket hotel bar as a fancy waiter brings your tray over, leaving glasses glistening with condensation and filled with fabulously pink booze.
