The legendary Cosmopolitan is a simple cocktail with a great history. She reached the peak of popularity in the 1990s when the HBO show "Sex and the City" was at its peak. The pink, martini-style drink was a favorite of the characters on the show. He made his debut during the second season and became a series regular after that.
For a good decade, the Cosmopolitan may have been the most popular cocktail in America, and bartenders couldn't work a shift without making dozens of them for eager customers. Of course, its ubiquity prompted countless riffs, from White Cosmo (St-Germain instead of Cointreau) to gin versions. While the drink isn't as popular today as it was in its heyday, the classic recipe is still very much alive.
According to bartending legend and author Gary Regan, the original Cosmopolitan was created in 1985 by Miami bartender Cheryl Cook while working at a South Beach bar called the Strand. Eager to invent a new cocktail for the Martini glass, Cook came up with the classic kamikaze using a newly introduced citrus-flavored vodka, plus a splash of cranberry juice.
There is some debate as to who created the original Cosmopolitan. Many believe, like Regan, that it was first mixed by Cook. Others believe that Dale DeGroff invented it in New York's Rainbow Room, or that Toby Cecchini first invented a Cosmo in 1988 during his stint at New York's Odeon. However, everyone agrees that Cecchini popularized the vodka-and-cranberry 'Tini'. His version of the drink called for 2 ounces of Absolut Citron vodka, one ounce of Cointreau, one ounce of Ocean Spray cranberry juice cocktail, and one ounce of fresh lemon juice, with a lemon twist.
Cosmo was a product of its time. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, vodka was king, but flavored vodka was just finding an audience. When Absolut released its first flavored vodka, Lemon Citron, bartenders had a new toy to work with. Cecchini used it in Cosmo along with Ocean Spray, and the vodka-and-cranberry pairing is still the go-to pairing in most bars today. You can, of course, use any citrus-flavored vodka and cranberry juice you like. Just remember: Don't drown your drink in blueberries. Other cocktails like the Sea Breeze call for a larger mass of cranberry, but here the juice is meant to be just an accent, adding a touch of tang and color.
