Cosmopolitan

IBA

Catapulted to cultural prominence by 1990s Manhattan nightlife and its frequent appearances on Sex and the City, the Cosmopolitan became the defining cocktail of an era. Its balance of tart cranberry and citrus against the warmth of Cointreau gives it a deceptively sophisticated edge beneath its vivid pink exterior.
