Despite my longstanding affection for Sex and the City, I can’t abide their cocktail choices. Consider this my effort to make their quintessential order, the Cosmo, more alluring.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Chopin Potato Vodka
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 1 oz spiced cranberry syrup
  • 1 egg white or ¾ oz aquafaba
  • Garnish: 3 drops Angostura bitters

Spiced Cranberry Syrup

  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1¼ cups water
  • 1¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 strips of orange peel 2-inch thick
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a shaker and dry shake for 15-20 seconds.
  2. Add ice and shake again until well-chilled.
  3. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
  4. Garnish with 3 drops of Angostura bitters near the rim of the glass. Drag a cocktail pick through the drops of Angostura in a single motion to create heart shapes.

Spiced Cranberry Syrup

  1. Combine ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to medium low. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not cook longer or the syrup will become jelly.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  3. Fine strain into an airtight container.
