Recipe for a Cosmopolitan cocktail

The cosmopolitan is a bright easy-to-make cocktail with a bouquet of lime orange lemon and cranberry. Neon pink the “cosmo” revitalizes refreshes and rightfully deserves its place next to the margarita and sidecar on your table.

The Cosmopolitan is a vodka daisy a sour made with fresh citrus fruits and a liqueur like Curacao. Where its siblings the Margarita and Sidecar play it fairly straightforward the Cosmopolitan's nod to Cape Cod cranberries makes it a nearly unique delight.

For such a relatively new drink the origins of the cosmopolitan have been debated as often (and hotly) as the classics of the late 19th century. What we can say for sure is that the drink—a basic sour custom-made with cranberry juice—first gained widespread popularity and recognition in the mid-’80s just before Absolut Citron launched and became its signature vodka.
