The Recipe for Our Most Popular Cocktail: Xavier’s White Cosmo

Inspired by the eponymous cocktail from bartender Xavier Herit at Daniel in New York City, we adapted this popular recipe with permission from the Manhattan establishment. It’s served year-round in Aspen, offering the perfect balance of sweetness, alcohol and acidity, capped by floral aromas from the wildflowers in The Little Nell’s summer gardens.

Recipe (makes 1 serving):

Ingredients:
2 oz Grey Goose Vodka
1 oz. St. Germain
.25 oz white cranberry juice
.25 oz lime juice
Served with an ice sphere with pressed flower petals

*At The Little Nell, we use petals from our summer gardens – in season, they are freshly picked. We save and store them for year-round use so they are mementos of our vibrant summer gardens.

Instructions:
Place the ice sphere in a martini glass, mix all ingredients, shake and strain over the martini glass.
