Though the ‘Cosmo’ started making the rounds in the 80s when Madonna was photographed with one in hand at New York City’s the Rainbow Room, its popularity peaked in the 90s with the advent of the television show Sex and the City. Originally a mix of vodka, cranberry and Cointreau, this gin-based version is all grown up. It has budded from a vivid pink hue to a mature white. Botanist gin and St-Germain mix with fresh lemon and apple juices, while an artistic orange twist swoops over the glass with late 20th century glam.
