On this episode of How to Drink, I am making the best Cosmo you’ve ever had in honor of “Sex and the City’s” 20th anniversary. The Cosmopolitan is more than just Vodka cranberry, it is comprised of multiple ingredients, and as I demonstrate in this episode it’s one that leaves some room to improve upon too. Hope you enjoy, cheers!

As to the history of the cocktail, it's a bit murky. Some hold that it was invented at the Odeon in NYC in 1987, but I've read that Wondrich found menu's with it from a hotel bar somewhere in the Caribbean from the 1970's. None the less, it it is an evolution on the Daisy, and as such has pre-prohibition roots, and a cousin to the Margarita.

Cosmopolitan Ingredients:
- .25 oz or 8 ml Simple Syrup
- .5 oz or 15 ml Lime Juice
- 1 oz or 30 ml Cranberry Juice
- 1 oz or 30 ml Curaçao
- 2 oz or 60 ml Vodka
- Barspoon of Maraschino (Optional)
- Garnish with a Lime Wheel
