I have a thing for cocktails, especially for making (not drinking) one and when it comes to cocktails there is only one person – Anders Erickson – on YouTube whose videos I watched and re-watched a million times. He makes the perfect cocktails, he’s funny, he’s enthusiastic and he is really into teaching the history of the cocktails, which I personally love to hear about.
In one of his latest videos he was making the original Cosmopolitan cocktail and while I was watching that beautiful pinky color in that perfectly shaped glass I cannot stop myself thinking how a small rose floating on the top would have been looked like and in that moment the daughter of Cosmo has been born.
It’s gentle. It’s fragile. It’s floral…at least in my head this combination was making sense, so I had to go for it and try. I wanted the taste of rose lokum (if you know you know) or forever rose latte in this cocktail and did I make it happen?
It’s definitely not going to be a boy’s cocktail and the most suitable place I can imagine would be a girl themed baby shower or bachelorette’s party.
If you want to have an extra rose taste, just infuse the rose in the vodka and leave it soak in overnight. You will still feel a heavier vodka taste though, that’s why I went with a vanilla flavored spirit to have it soften a bit. Bring it on everyone, let’s mix some Cosmo and let me know how you liked it!
