A Cosmonaut, invented by Sasha Petraske, combines gin, lemon juice and raspberry preserves. I got my recipe from 3-Ingredient Cocktails by Robert Simonson. It was intended as a spoof on the Cosmopolitan. As you can see, it's deeply pink so maybe also a nod to the Soviet communists? Or is it a pun? Cosmo-not? Both?
The first flavor hit for me was jelly doughnut, undoubtedly from the raspberry jam. Once my taste buds adjusted, though, the sweetness was less potent. The lemon brings out the natural tartness of the berries.
