Yes, the grenadine plus syrup can be a bit sweet, but, well, that’s the way my Bride likes it, so…

“Cosmo for grownups,” that’s funny. Thanks!

It didn’t seem to make sense to use both the grenadine and the demerara syrup, as that would have been sickly sweet, so this was my recipe:

1½ oz bourbon (I used Eagle Rare)
½ oz fresh lime juice
½ oz Gerandine
½ oz Grand Marnier

My girlfriend, who used to drink nothing but Cosmos, liked it a lot. Although she objected to me calling it a “Cosmo for grownups”!
