If you're a fan of cocktails that pack a punch both in taste and history, then the Amor de Cosmos cocktail is sure to delight your senses. This classic drink has its roots in the vibrant city of Victoria, British Columbia, where it was first created as a tribute to one of Canada's most influential political figures.
The Amor de Cosmos cocktail is named after George Anthony Walkem, who adopted the pen name "Amor De Cosmos" (meaning "Love of Order") during his time as a journalist and politician in 19th-century Canada. Walkem was known for his progressive views on social issues and his dedication to promoting British Columbia's interests within the Canadian Confederation.
To honor Walkem's legacy, mixologists at The Courtney Room in Victoria crafted this unique cocktail that combines bold flavors with a nod to Victorian-era sophistication. The drink features gin infused with chamomile tea, honey syrup, lemon juice, lavender bitters, and egg white for added richness.
The result is a refreshing blend that balances floral notes with citrusy brightness and hints of herbal complexity. Served over ice in an elegant coupe glass garnished with fresh lavender petals or lemon twist, the Amor de Cosmos cocktail is as visually appealing as it is delicious.
Whether you're sipping this delightful concoction on a sunny patio overlooking Victoria's picturesque Inner Harbour or enjoying it at home while reminiscing about Canada's rich history, the Amor de Cosmos cocktail offers a taste experience like no other. So raise your glass to George Anthony Walkem and toast to love, order, and great cocktails!
