Here’s a Cosmo brought right up to date.
“The modern Cosmo recipe was written by Toby Cecchini,” says Bar Herbs’ Lucy Finlayson of their riff on the drink, which was created by Jeremy Blackmore. “The Cosmo found fame in New York circles and made it to the big time in Sex and the City. Tart and funny and fruity and delicious.”

“We make ours with a touch of extra citrus, yuzu adds some almost mandarin flavour and a fresh lemon granita adds texture. A classic brought right up to 2025.”
