What is the bartender tip for a Cosmonaut?
Sasha Petraske, Milk & Honey: the answer to the Cosmopolitan, in three ingredients. Raspberry jam stands in for the syrup — sweetness and fruit in the same move. A heaping bar spoon, not a level one: level leaves the sour lean; two spoons gets cloying. London Dry holds up the drink; a floral gin disappears behind the jam. Double strain catches the seeds. Chilled glass, no ice. The catalog's Raspberry Jam Sour gets egg white, more jam, and goes in a rocks glass; the Bramble swaps raspberry for blackberry and builds over ice. The Cosmopolitan is a different drink: vodka, cranberry, and lime.
