A Cosmopolitan, also known simply as a Cosmo, is a popular cocktail made with vodka, triple sec (an orange-flavored liqueur), cranberry juice, and lime juice. It features a delicious balance of sweet and tart flavors, with the perfect touch of spirit to warm you up.
The Cosmopolitan became popular in the 1990s, thanks in part to its frequent appearances on the television show “Sex and the City.” It has a sweet-tart flavor profile and is often associated with a sophisticated and cosmopolitan lifestyle.
