Published

Did you know that the cosmopolitan cocktail we know and love dates back to the mid 1930s, when it was made with gin and raspberry syrup? Two decades later, vodka and cranberry juice were swapped in, and today's cocktail lovers can enjoy a refreshing cosmo experience by simply cracking open a can of QNSY Cosmo.

QNSY cofounders Tara Merdjanoff and Jeremy Bohen appeared on the Imbibe the Vibe podcast to sample three generations of cosmos, explore the connection between jazz and cocktails, and share their knowledge of mixology history.
