3) Bitter Horn
Adding a bitter complex to the original “French Horn”, this bittersweet combination of orange flavoured vodka, raspberry, bitters, cranberry & grenadine is truly an acquired taste heightening senses of ground roots, herbs and fruity notes on the tongue.

4) French Cherry Noir
A unique twist to the original “Cosmo Noir” cherry vodka and simple maple syrup creates an entirely different taste profile with generally the same aesthetic look. The addition of blended wine also contributes to the complexity of this savoury and vintage tasting concoction. With each sip, have a nibble of garnished fruit starting with hibiscus fruit and moving to cherry to bring out the best characteristics and pairing habit.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ oz. Cherry-flavoured Vodka
- ½ oz. Simple Maple Syrup
- 1 Large lime Squeezed
- ¾ oz. Blended Red Wine ( Chilled )
Directions
