As with others prefer this to the regular Cosmo. There is an excitement and burst of flavours I do not experience in the other Cosmo. The Cassis helps to pull out the cranberry flavour.

I prefer this to a Cosmo as the cassis elevates and adds a real depth where sometimes cranberry alone tastes ‘thin’

I find that the inclusion of blackcurrant liqueur adds depth and fullness to the traditional cosmo.
