Variations
Cosmopolitan
Invented by Toby Cecchini in 1988, the Cosmopolitan is crisp, fruity and refreshing without being too tart or too sweet. Often pegged as a “Girly Drink” thanks to Sex and The City, a proper Cosmo is anything but.
Also, Drinks don’t have a gender. Stop it. Drink what you like, bro.
2 oz Absolut Citron
1 oz Cointreau
1 oz Lime
1 oz Ocean Spray Cranberry Cocktail
Shaken, served up. Garnish with an orange twist.
Margarita
Margarita is Spanish for Daisy. There are lots of theories about how the margarita was named, but at the end of the day it is most likely that someone asked for the popular Gin Daisy while on vacation in Mexico, and the Bartender made due with what they had on hand.
2 oz Blanco Tequila
3/4 oz Cointreau
3/4 oz Lime
