Cosmopolitan

Pink, sharp, and unapologetically glamorous — the Cosmopolitan turned a simple vodka sour into a statement. Born in the cocktail bars of the 1980s and immortalized a decade later on television screens worldwide, it remains the drink you order when the evening calls for a little theatre.
