History:
Adapted from a recipe created by Sasha Petraske at his Milk & Honey bar in New York City, USA.
In Georgette Moger-Petraske's 2016 Sasha Petraske Regarding Cocktails, Michael Madrusan, who worked alongside Sasha at Milk & Honey, says of the Cosmonaut, "Sasha named it as a jab towards the popularity of the Cosmopolitan, which this drink, Emphatically, is not."
Review:
It's rich in both colour and flavour. Don't scrimp on the quality of raspberry jam; use three flat barspoons (15-20ml). Sasha's original recipe specifies Bonne Maman Raspberry Conserve.
