History

This cocktail was served as the "Sliving Cosmo" at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California in April 2024, but amongst the cognoscenti, it is known as the Cosmicus.

Review

Why have a bog-standard Cosmo when you can have a Cosmicus? A Cosmopolitan with a sophisticated Italian touch of bergamot.

Sweet up front with complexity in the tail. A very drinkable and refreshing Cosmo variant.

I would up the amount of Italicus to 30 ml next time aiming for more pronounced taste and a bit more sweet. Then likely nearly as good as a Cosmopolitan
