Electro-blue in color, this drink is like the cousin of the original Cosmopolitan that went on a psychedelic adventure. Born from the same family but with an exciting twist that makes it not-so Cosmo!
The Not-So-Cosmopolitan is a bold combination of Absolut Citron and Triple Sec! As if that wasn’t jazzy enough, it also brings in a wild side with some passion fruit purée and blue curaçao. Just when you think it can't get any wilder, there's a dash of simple syrup, white cranberry juice, and lime juice added into the mix. But here is the kicker! It flashes a starry smile with a slice of carambola as garnish. That right there is a party in a cocktail glass!
