Cosmopolitan

That pink drink in the Martini glass has never been shy about making a statement. The Cosmopolitan brings vodka, cranberry, citrus, and just enough tartness to keep things interesting. It's the kind of cocktail that feels right when you're dressed up, out with friends, and planning to stay longer than you originally intended. And thanks to Sex and the City, it carries a whole extra layer of pop-culture nostalgia. The classic Martini has a more restrained personality, while the Espresso Martini brings coffee-fueled nightlife energy. The Margarita might be the easier everyday order, but the Cosmo has a specific mood that neither can replicate. Is it the greatest cocktail in the lineup, or does its reputation do more work than the drink itself?
