Via Carota Craft Cocktails reimagines the iconic cocktail as the ready-to-serve Sparkling Cosmo, the newest addition to its award-winning sparkling collection
NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Cosmopolitan is back, now with bubbles. Via Carota Craft Cocktails, the award-winning premium ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail brand inspired by the beloved West Village restaurant, today launched the Sparkling Cosmo: triple-distilled vodka, tart cranberry, fresh lime and bright orange zest, topped with crisp sparkling wine and bottled for whenever the moment calls for it.
The launch comes as consumers fall back in love with the Cosmo and drinkers return to the celebratory, unapologetically fun cocktails they’ve always toasted with. The Sparkling Cosmo meets that moment head-on: instantly recognizable, a little unexpected and ready the second it’s chilled.
“We love the tartness of a Cosmopolitan – the cranberry, the lime, that little bit of orange,” said Rita Sodi, chef and co-founder of Via Carota Craft Cocktails. “We thought bubbles would make it even better, so we added sparkling wine. It still tastes like the Cosmo you love.”
Juicy, bright and perfectly balanced, the Sparkling Cosmo is 11% ABV and comes in single-serve 200mL bottles. No shaker, no measuring, no garnish required – just chill, pop and pour.
The Sparkling Cosmo joins the brand’s sparkling collection of the Spritz, Paloma, French 75 and Sparkling Negroni, alongside its still, ready-to-pour classics like Espresso Martini, Classic Negroni, White Negroni, Old Fashioned, Classic Margarita, Signature Martini, and Signature Manhattan. The launch builds on growing momentum for Via Carota Craft Cocktails, whose French 75 recently went viral on TikTok, generating 6 million organic views and a surge of consumer requests for retailers to stock the cocktail.
“When our French 75 took off on TikTok, it reinforced what we’d been seeing all along: consumers love sparkling cocktails, particularly when they offer something truly distinctive,” said Ryan Giunta, President of Via Carota Craft Cocktails. “Our sparkling collection continues to see tremendous growth as consumers seek premium cocktails that bring together exceptional quality and ease. With the Sparkling Cosmo, we saw an opportunity to reimagine an icon – honoring everything people love about the classic while making it unmistakably Via Carota Craft Cocktails: vibrant, beautifully balanced, and effortlessly elevated.”
Where to Buy: The Sparkling Cosmo is available in four-packs ($23.99) at retailers nationwide, including Total Wine, select Trader Joe’s locations, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, Stew Leonard’s and more, and online at DrinkViaCarota.com in a 10-pack ($69).
