Tyler Widmann at la Padella in Media offers up an Italian Cosmo. You may never have heard of one of the key ingredients. Tuaca is an Italian brandy with subtle notes of vanilla and Mediterranean citrus, hints of butterscotch, cola, and dried fig. Amaretto, another ingredient, is an Italian almond-flavored liqueur that originated in Saronno, Lombardy. Combining these two ingredients along with Stoli, cranberry, and lime creates a warming and aromatic profile in a Cosmopolitan.

- 1 oz Amaretto
