The Chambord Cosmopolitan

Drink description

A celebration of excellence featuring only the finest, world-class ingredients. 

The Mythology of a Sophisticated Classic

The Cosmo cocktail as we know it today was developed in 1985 at a bar called the Strand in South Beach, Florida by Bartender Cheryl Cook. Developed to help promote Absolut Vodka’s Citron flavor that was being tested at the time, Ms. Cook used a Kamikaze as her inspiration. The original recipe called for Rose’s Lime Juice, TripleSec & enough Ocean Spray cranberry to give it a nice, bright pink color. 

As with any great cocktail, it wasn’t long before other bartenders were making their own versions of this drink. Both in New York and San Francisco, bartenders Toby Cecchini & Melissa Roth from the Odeon and Dale DeGroff from the Starlight Room, were tinkering with the concept and making their own versions of this drink. The recipes that these bartenders came up, with TripleSec & fresh lime juice, are the ones we commonly drink today. 

The Cosmopolitan received a huge boost when it was New York’s turn to host the Grammy awards and Madonna was pictured enjoying the Cosmo at the Rainbow Room where Sony Music was hosting their afterparty. Then came Carrie Bradshaw…...and the rest is history.

Luxe Libations is proud to present the Chambord Cosmo. Its flavors are quite complex yet very simple to make. We trust that you’ll enjoy the Chambord Cosmo as much as we do.

Our Ingredients

Clean, Smooth and Elegant

Founded in 1691, Ketel One is produced in Schiedam, the Netherlands. Named after the original copper pot still, Ketel One Vodka is distilled from 100% wheat in copper pot stills, filtered over loose charcoal, and rests in tile-lined tanks until ready. 

A Magnifique Velvety Smooth Liqueur

Inspired by raspberry liqueur made in the Loire Valley in the late 1600s. It is said to have been introduced to Louis XIV during one of his visits to the Château de Chambord. Chambord is made from red and black raspberries, Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey and cognac.

A Grand Name for a ‘Grand Liqueur!’

Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge (for the red ribbon around the neck) is an orange-flavored liqueur created in 1880 from the eccentric idea of Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle to blend French Cognac brandy and distilled essence of bitter orange.
