Initially introduced in the late 1980s, the Cosmopolitan cocktail was popularised by its appearance in Sex and the City. While the pink drink reigned supreme during the 1990s and early 2000s, the pop-culture origins of its popularity also contributed to its demise. Fortunately for Carrie Bradshaw et al., it’s 2020 and cosmos are cool again. Here’s how to whip up an impressive classic Cosmopolitan.
