HELLO, IT’S ME – MOTH: COSMOPOLITAN
APRIL 07, 2024
TELL ME MORE
Look who just touched down from the Big Apple. Tarty-sweet and chic. A crisp cranberry kiss that cuts through Wood Brothers’ vodka. Independently distilled, this cocktail will accessorise only with the best. It wants to whisper to you in dim lighting about its story – pull up a stool?
We all know this one’s been around the block, but contrary to what Carrie might have you think, it’s no native New Yorker. Its real provenance has become a bit of a myth itself, popularised by the queer community of Provincetown, Massachusetts (where the cranberries were growing). Then it went to Hollywood – all glitz and glam. Where it became known.
HOW TO SERVE
The chillier, the better. The first drink the night before the morning after – straight from the can? That’s fine, honey. Or give it everything you’ve got and show off:
1. CHILL
Best served straight up, no ice
2. POUR
Into an icy cold martini glass
3. GARNISH
Optional: A twist of orange
4. ENJOY
With best friends and a secret to share
We think Cosmopolitan’s ideal with finger food – the kind you share with friends. Little crostinis topped with smoked salmon and lemony dill cream cheese. Something to nibble on for a lowkey chinwag. Need something chic? A tangy and fresh watermelon salad gives a crisp crunch for this cocktail’s tarty-sweetness.
