The Blackleaf Cosmo
At a time when vodka brands are shouting louder to say less, Blackleaf is taking a different route—one that speaks through substance, not spectacle.
A Bold First Step in a New Era of Taste
In every great city, there are people who don’t just move with the rhythm—they shape it. Enter Thandi Walton, the Smithsonian-awarded mixologist whose imaginative brilliance has long defined the cocktail culture of Atlanta. Today, Blackleaf Organic Vodka proudly introduces our 2025 drink strategy in collaboration with Thandi—a visionary whose flair, flavor, and fearless spirit echo everything our Spirit of the City campaign stands for. Together, we’ve crafted a series of cocktails that marry Blackleaf’s clean, premium profile with Thandi’s singular style. First up: The Blackleaf Cosmo—a stunning, reimagined classic launching today in honor of National Cosmopolitan Day.
At a time when vodka brands are shouting louder to say less, Blackleaf is taking a different route—one that speaks through substance, not spectacle. Our drink strategy isn’t just about recipes—it’s about ritual. It’s about claiming our space as a premium organic spirit that understands culture, community, and craftsmanship. With Thandi’s artistry leading the charge, each cocktail is a story in a glass—a reflection of the people, cities, and creativity that fuel us. This launch marks not just the start of a campaign, but a declaration: Blackleaf is not here to follow. We're here to define. This is a movement worth backing. For editors, a story worth covering. And for tastemakers across the country, the vodka brand worth knowing.
Whether served under city lights or in the quiet elegance of your home bar, The Blackleaf Cosmo is the perfect pour for those who crave intention in every sip. Elegant, bold, and irresistibly fresh—this is how Blackleaf makes its mark.
