Overview
The Cosmopolitan, often called a “Cosmo,” is a cocktail traditionally made with vodka, orange-flavored liqueur, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed or sweetened lime juice. It is known for its tart, slightly sweet flavor and distinctive pink color.
Origins
The exact origins of the Cosmopolitan are disputed, with several bartenders and locations associated with its development. Versions of the drink appeared before the modern recipe became widely established during the 1980s and 1990s.
What’s In It?
A typical Cosmopolitan combines citrus-flavored vodka, triple sec or another orange liqueur, cranberry juice, and lime juice. The ingredients are shaken with ice and strained into a cocktail glass.
Appearance & Serving
The cocktail is usually served chilled without ice in a stemmed cocktail glass. Cranberry gives it a pale pink to reddish color, while a lime wheel, lime twist, or orange peel may be added as a garnish.
Pop Culture
The Cosmopolitan became especially fashionable during the 1990s and gained enormous popular-culture visibility through the television series Sex and the City, where it was frequently ordered by the main characters.
Legacy
The Cosmopolitan became one of the signature cocktails of the late twentieth century. Its vivid appearance, recognizable name, and association with fashionable urban nightlife helped turn the Cosmo into a modern cocktail classic.
