The Rise and Fall of the COSMOPOLITAN - a history & recipe

Today we're discussing the rise and fall of the Cosmopolitan! Considered by some as the first modern classic cocktail, the Cosmo is a drink every bartender should be familiar with. Feelings are mixed on the cosmo, but we can’t deny the impact it had on cocktail culture. I have a soft spot for the Cosmopolitan because it's been with me since I first started bartending (not literally). Cheers, everyone!
