Stoned Cosmo

The iconic ’90s cocktail, made with Empirical Stonefruit.

Simple · 3 min

Stonefruit and Italicus Bergamot Liqueur replace the usual vodka and triple sec. Fresh lime, cranberry juice and a dash or two of orange bitters complete it, and the spirit's marzipan and floral notes make the Cosmo rounder and more aromatic. Finish with orange zest and lime.
