Cosmopolitan

Absolut Citron, Cointreau, lime juice and cranberry juice

The Cosmopolitan is arguably the transitional cocktail to prime the marketplace for the Cocktail Renaissance. It was served in a Martini glass, and looked equally sophisticated, but it wasn’t at all a Martini. The drink was popularized by 1990 at Odeon, New York City, with the help of Absolut marketing and the drink’s instantly-recognizable appearance, made world-famous by 2000 through the “Sex and the City” television show.
