Oh, the Blood Orange Cosmo. It’s a bright, zesty, and zingy cocktail with a citrus punch and a subtle hint of cranberry.

This spirited drink is actually a twist on the original Cosmopolitan. To explore a new part of the citrus world, Absolut Citron was swapped out with Absolut Mandrin, and so the Blood Orange Cosmo was born.

Now picture this: a burst of sunshine meets the sultry allure of a classic Cosmo, and voilà, you’ve got a concoction that’s as refreshing as a tropical breeze in a bustling city.

So, what’s really in a Blood Orange Cosmo?
A symphony of ingredients harmonize in this lively libation. The main vibe comes from Absolut Mandrin, a vodka with a fruity and fresh character. It’s teamed up with cranberry juice, known for its sweet yet tart notes. Triple Sec brings sweetness and amplifies the citrus notes that play well with the blood orange juice. And then, rounding out the flavor profile is a touch of lime juice, adding that essential tingle to your taste buds.

So, whether you’re toasting to a special occasion or just treating yourself to a moment of citrusy bliss, let the Blood Orange Cosmo be your next go-to.
