Cosmo Kick – A Cosmopolitan Mule
The Cosmo Kick is where the elegance of a Cosmopolitan meets the fiery refreshment of a Mule — a modern hybrid cocktail that’s light, citrusy, and gently spiced. Made with vodka or 0.0% gin, cranberry juice, lime, and topped with the bold fizz of Double Dutch Ginger Beer, it’s a simple build with big flavour. Think: the sass of Sex and the City, with a little added mule-strength energy.
Why We Love the Cosmo Kick
There’s something so effortless about this cocktail — it blends the tart, fruity character of a Cosmo with the cooling burn of ginger beer, creating a drink that’s at once familiar and totally fresh. Whether you’re going alcohol-free with 0.0% gin or sticking to classic vodka, the result is bright, bold, and utterly drinkable.
Crushed ice gives the Cosmo Kick its signature chilled texture, while twists of orange and lime — plus a few floating cranberries — make it as pretty as it is punchy. It’s perfect for summer sipping, festive toasting, or just adding a little drama to your Friday night drinks lineup.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve in a traditional mule mug for that icy-cold experience — or any short glass will do.
- Top with Double Dutch Ginger Beer for a zippy, spicy finish that balances the fruit beautifully.
- Garnish with a twist of orange, lime, and a few cranberries for colour and aroma.
Top Tips
- Use crushed ice for that classic mule texture and longer chill.
- Fresh lime juice is a must — bottled just doesn’t have the same zing.
- Feeling fancy? Freeze cranberries into your ice cubes for a stunning visual twist.
Fruity, fiery, and full of personality, the Cosmo Kick is the ultimate cocktail crossover — bringing together two classics in one refreshingly bold serve. It’s a twist you didn’t know you needed, but won’t forget anytime soon.
