About the Cosmonaut
Sasha Petraske created it at Milk & Honey in New York around 2004, with a name that pokes fun at the Cosmopolitan. His original used a heaping spoon of raspberry jam instead of syrup.
Missing something?
- No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
- No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
- No Raspberry Syrup? Use Grenadine
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
