Naked CosmoCocktail recipe
Rating
The Naked Cosmo is a sleek and citrusy cocktail often served in a stylish cocktail glass. It's a twist on the classic Cosmopolitan and is known for its blend of vodka and Cointreau, which provides a smooth, slightly sweet base with a hint of orange flavor.
The sharpness of lime juice cuts through the sweetness, offering a refreshing zest, while the subtle addition of sugar syrup balances the drink's overall taste profile. Visually striking, the Naked Cosmo sometimes features a touch of color from a drizzle of grenadine and is often garnished with a delicate rose petal for an elegant finish.
This cocktail is a popular choice for those who enjoy a sophisticated, tart drink with a touch of sweetness.
