Cheryl Cook, a bartender at Strand Restaurant in Miami's South Beach, combined lemon vodka, triple sec, Rose's lime juice and cranberry juice to serve customers who wanted a sophisticated-looking cocktail that was smooth and easy to drink. Then, during the 1970s, a couple of drinks that closely resemble the Cosmo seem to have cropped up simultaneously. In 1968, Ocean Spray created the Harpoon - equal parts vodka and cranberry juice cocktail with a squeeze of lime - to try to sell more cranberry juice for adult consumption. The recipe included gin instead of vodka and raspberry syrup instead of cranberry juice. In 1934, a reference to the Cosmopolitan Daisy appeared in a cocktail book. The Cosmo relies on that basic structure, though vodka was not one of the spirits usually treated this way. In the late 1800s, the Daisy - the combination of a spirit, a citrus, and a sweetener that we now think of as the basic formula for a sour cocktail - emerged as a way to make the strong tastes of spirits more accessible. Long before the 1970s, a couple of similar cocktails with different names probably provided the basic structure that became the Cosmo. Some popular ideas about its origins include: One The Cosmopolitan cocktail recipe has quite an interesting history, in terms of both the murkiness of its origin story and the effect it's had on cocktail culture over the past decades.

I'm not really on the Tito's bandwagon, but if you are, that would be a fine option, too.
I'm using Grey Goose, which has a lovely, toasty vibe and creamy finish.
Swap the vodka for a non-alcoholic white spirit. Completed with easy-to-use cobbler shaker, double jigger, fine mesh strainer and bar spoon, it has everything you need to make next-level drinks at home. Take your skills to the next level with this handy cocktail kit from the olive shop. Use fresh cranberry juice in this recipe and not too much – we want to add a touch of tartness to the cocktail, anything more will dilute the drink. Vodka is classic here – we’ve tried and tested the best vodkas here – but gin wouldn’t go amiss if you prefer a drink with a little more botanical bite, or try swapping the Cointreau for an elderflower liqueur like St Germain to add a floral touch to the drink. Which is a shame, as this blush-pink, sweet-tart concoction is certainly worth revisiting.

This cocktail enjoyed its hey day in the late 1980s and 1990s, as well as the TV show Sex and the City, and has since fallen somewhat out of favour.
