The Color-Changing Cosmopolitan
A good cosmo is served ice cold, but creating the best color-changing cosmopolitan experience means watching the color change in your glass. Our color-changing vodka will fill a glass with stunning, all-natural cobalt blue, but we want to keep that cosmo cold — so store your bottle of Unicorn in the freezer before mixing this drink.
Guests will have a moment to appreciate the bold blue vodka in their glass while you chill the liqueur and juices. As the mixture strains into the glass, Unicorn Butterfly Pea Vodka will transform into purple and then pink.
History of the Cosmopolitan
The origin of the cosmopolitan drink is disputed, but, wherever it came from, the drink enjoyed early success. It was one of the first “modern” cocktails, and its bright color made it (and the person holding it) stand out in a crowd.
Its popularity got an early boost when Madonna was photographed with one, and yet a further boost in the 1990s when it featured heavily as the favorite drink in Sex in the City.
As with any successful cocktail, a host of variations have made their way into bars, restaurants, and swanky house parties. The Unicorn Cosmopolitan, however, harnesses the initial appeal of this truly iconic cocktail: a refreshing drink combined with a stunning visual experience.
