Cosmopolitan Cocktail Day, celebrated on May 7, is a great occasion to remember this elegant and sophisticated cocktail.
Symbolizing luxury and sophistication, it not only pleases the eye with its exquisite appearance, but also pamper the taste buds with a unique combination of ingredients.
The history of the Cosmopolitan is closely connected with the culture and elegance of New York. They say that this cocktail was born in Manhattan in the early 80s.
Toby Cizzini, who worked in one of the bars in Manhattan, replaced the existing recipe at that time. So, he replaced lemon juice with lime juice, and suggested replacing Triple Sec with Cointreau liqueur. The drink became popular and it was this recipe that was approved by the International Bartenders Association.
Cosmopolitan was first shown to the general public in the hands of Madonna, who won a Grammy in 1996 for her sixth studio album Bedtime Stories. But its real fame came only in the late 1990s, thanks to Sarah Jessica Parker and the cult TV series Sex and the City. In this show, it became not just a drink, but a symbol of style and freedom.
Cosmopolitan is the perfect combination of acidity, sweetness and aroma, ideal for those who prefer sweet and light drinks. And especially for its lovers, we have prepared a classic recipe that anyone can repeat.
