COCKTAIL RECIPE
Cosmopolitan
A balanced combination of vodka and Cointreau, enlivened with cranberry and lime. An urban and sophisticated classic.
Cosmopolitan was born in the city bars of the US in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Although popularized by Rosie O'Donnell and bartenders, it was the iconic 90s TV series Sex and the City that made it a worldwide legend. The pink Martini glass in Carrie Bradshaw's hand made Cosmopolitan a symbol of modern women and urban life.
“Each sip carries the energy of the city lights”
Bartenders added cranberry juice and lime to lighten the cold and harsh character of the classic Martini and create a sweeter and fresher drink. The result is an elegant, fruity and balanced cocktail. The Cosmopolitan became not just a drink, but an icon that conveyed the energy of the 90s, the nightlife of New York bars and a taste of modern elegance.
