Cosmocello
As you probably know, I love my wine 🍷. I enjoy cooking with it, sipping it on its own and obviously pairing it with food. I do enjoy other spirits but wine, especially red, is my “thing”.
When it’s very hot outside, I need something cold to drink and red wine is usually out of the picture. Last year, when the mercury went above 35ºC/95ºF 🥵 for over 3 months, I mixed a lot of cold cocktails. Here’s one of them… my Cosmocello!
Initially, this drink was made with 7Up® and it was refreshing. One day though, as I started prepping my “cocktail”, I realized I was out of 7Up®. I didn’t feel like going to the grocery store although it’s only a 5 minute walk 🚶♀️ to get there (it was too hot outside), therefore I had to reinvent my Cosmocello with another ingredient. To my great satisfaction and surprise, this modification made the drink taste even better!
I use Limoncello liqueur in this cocktail recipe. For those of you who are not familiar with it, it’s a popular Italian liqueur made with lemons 🍋. You can easily find it at any liqueur store. I like to make my own so here’s the link for the recipe… Homemade Limoncello Liqueur.
This Cosmocello is so refreshing! My mixology concoction delivers a perfect balance; not too sweet with a hint of tartness. I like to make it in a red wine glass but any tall glass should work just fine. Garnished with a lemon wedge, this is a great drink to serve your friends at your next backyard party. Who knew that laziness can sometimes deliver something as good as this refreshing drink 😊!
Cheers!🥂
