About
The Ketel One Cosmopolitan is elegance in a glass. Clean, smooth vodka meets the citrus-orange depth of Cointreau, tart cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice. It’s refined, vibrant, and unmistakably polished.
Perfect for glamorous evenings, brunches with friends, or anytime you want your cocktail to look as good as it tastes.

The Barsys Edge
Cosmopolitans rely on balance - too much cranberry and they’re syrupy; too little and they’re sharp. Barsys nails the ratios so your cocktail always stays polished and smooth.
Sip Setting

Garnish Game
A simple lemon twist adds just the right pop of aroma. Express it over the glass to release the essential oils before dropping it in.
