Inspired by Samantha Jones of Sex and the City (the show that made the Cosmo famous), this daring tequila-based Cosmopolitan from Rael Petit of New York’s Delilah gets a spicy heat from Ancho Reyes chile liqueur, and a complex, layered sweetness from coconut sugar syrup. It still has the heart of traditional Cosmo, but its intriguing, spicy-sweet flavor is anything but predictable.
