We love the classic 1990s Cosmopolitan Cocktail. The Cosmo is made with vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice and fresh lime juice. This fun, pink drink became famous from HBO’s Sex and the City<\/em>. The Cosmo is tart, fresh and not too sweet. It’s the perfect drink to serve at dinner parties and girls’ nights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

History of in the Cosmopolitan Cocktail Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The modern day Cosmo is a variation of the 1930s cocktail called Cosmopolitan 1934 which was made using gin, Cointreau, lemon juice and raspberry syrup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Gary Regan, the Cosmopolitan as we know it today was first mixed in 1985 by Miami bartender, Cheryl Cook. At the time Cook was working at a South Beach bar called The Strand. She created the Cosmopolitan as a variation of the Kamikaze<\/a> with an added splash of cranberry juice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others believe the Cosmo was invented by Dale DeGroff at New York City\u2019s Rainbow Room. Still other’s say it was first mixed by bartender Toby Cecchini in the late 1980s. Cecchini mixed his cosmo with Absolut Citron vodka, a citrus flavored vodka along with cranberry juice, orange liqueur and lime juice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drink became staple for New York City sophistication thanks to Sex and the City<\/em>‘s Carrie Bradshaw in the 1990s. It has remained extremely popular ever since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
