A twist on the classic Cosmopolitan, this is the signature drink of the Sky Bar in Bangkok. Located sixty three floors up (at 247 metres), the Sky Bar at Sirocco is out in the open and offers fantastic views across the city.
Even the most hardened individuals often find themselves suffering from a bout of vertigo. An amazing bar, and an amazing drink to complement the surroundings.

Ingredients
Cocktail Colin says:
The Sky Bar Cosmopolitan elegantly combines the crisp bite of vodka with the zesty sweetness of orange liqueur and the tartness of cranberry and lime juices, rounded off with a hint of luxurious crème de cassis. This beverage not only dazzles with its deep, inviting color but also offers a perfectly balanced dance of sweetness, tartness, and a slight underlying berry richness that complements its high-altitude, exotic locale.

FAQ's
What variations can I make on the Sky Bar Cosmopolitan?
Variations of the Sky Bar Cosmopolitan can include altering the type of vodka used (such as using a flavored vodka like citrus or raspberry for a twist), adjusting the ratio of ingredients for a sweeter or tarter taste, or substituting the orange liqueur with a different citrus liqueur for a unique flavor profile. Some might also garnish with an orange peel or add a splash of soda water for a fizzy variation.
What is the best type of orange liqueur to use in a Sky Bar Cosmopolitan?
The best type of orange liqueur for a Sky Bar Cosmopolitan typically includes high-quality brands such as Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or Triple Sec. These offer a smooth, rich citrus flavor that balances well with the other ingredients. The choice may depend on personal preference, with Cointreau being a common favorite for its crisp and clean taste.
What is the ideal garnish for a Sky Bar Cosmopolitan?
The ideal garnish for a Sky Bar Cosmopolitan is typically a twist of lime or a flamed orange peel. These garnishes add a hint of aromatic citrus to complement the drink's flavors. Additionally, some prefer to garnish with a cranberry or a cocktail cherry for a touch of color and sweetness.
How should I properly shake a Sky Bar Cosmopolitan?
To properly shake a Sky Bar Cosmopolitan, fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add all ingredients. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 10 to 15 seconds. The goal is to chill the cocktail while slightly diluting it with the melted ice, ensuring a smooth, cold drink. Strain it into a chilled cocktail glass to serve.
Can the Sky Bar Cosmopolitan be made as a non-alcoholic version, and if so, how?
Yes, the Sky Bar Cosmopolitan can be made into a non-alcoholic version. Substitute the vodka and orange liqueur with non-alcoholic alternatives such as non-alcoholic vodka and a citrus-based syrup or non-alcoholic orange liqueur. Adjust the quantities to taste, and follow the same mixing and serving instructions for a refreshing, alcohol-free cocktail.
