Rediscover a classic with this new twist on the Cosmopolitan.
It may be 20 years since the Classic Cosmo made its New York debut, but go back a further decade and you uncover its foundation. During the late 1960s and early 70s Americans were enjoying a crisp, clean vodka and cranberry concoction called The Harpoon, promoted by cranberry experts Ocean Spray. It was a favourite with creative barmen who used the drink as a base for a host of cocktails - and led to the birth of the Cosmopolitan as we know it today.
40 years since The Harpoon was first served, we’re proud to present the
London Cosmo - the new trend in town.
Combining the best of the US with our capital city, it’s proving to be an instant cranberry classic.
