Classic Cosmopolitan

The history of the Cosmopolitan is greatly debated; don't let that stop you from enjoyment of the drink itself! The Cosmopolitan, a stylish pink concoction served in a martini glass, first appeared in literature as early as 1933 and derives from New York. It became popular again in 1998 with Carrie Bradshaw in Sex in the City. With its pretty color and delicate flavors, the Classic Cosmopolitan is a fun and refreshing cocktail to enjoy with good friends.
