Cosmopolitan
If we’re meeting for cocktails and you beat me to the bar, order me a cosmopolitan.
I am a classicist when it comes to cocktails.
I want them clean, original and straight up. That means a Cosmopolitan should consist of Good Vodka, Grand Marnier, Cranberry Juice, and a Lime. Served straight up in a chilled martini glass.
Don’t suggest a “better” cosmopolitan with Citrus Vodka. Or try to convince me that lemons would be better. Please don’t try to “Ultimate”, “Upgrade” or “Skinny” my cocktail.
