- Material Girl: This cocktail pulls inspiration from the Cosmo, which many recognize as the popular cocktail from 90's show Sex and the City. However, it's lesser known that the Cosmofirst popped up in the 80’s, when Madonna was photographed with one in-hand at NYC's Rainbow Room. Originally a mix of vodka, cranberry and Cointreau, this gin-based version features Botanist Gin and St-Germain, lemon and apple juice.

Garnish with vibrant pineapple leaves.
