Ep. 50: Cosmopolitan - Setting the record straight with Neal Murray (the real inventor)

Listen Later

We need to right a terrible wrong. The world needs to know that Neal Murray is the true inventor of the Cosmopolitan - full stop. Don’t believe what you’ve been told by others, we get the straight scoop in our interview with Neal. Listen in as he walks us through the history behind this iconic drink, how it got its name, how it became so popular, and a few other fascinating stories. Neal even walks Uncle Brad through how to make a proper Cosmopolitan. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this episode. Please listen and please share his story. Let the truth be told!


Cosmopolitan recipe (from Neal Murray)

In your shaker add:

  • 2 oz Vodka (Neal likes potato vodka, and so do we)
  • 0.5 oz Lime Juice
  • 0.5 oz Triple Sec (Brad used Cointreau and that turned out excellent, but it’s higher proof)
  • 0.5 oz Cranberry juice (Neal likes Ocean Spray as it’s a little sweeter, and so do we)
  • 0.5 oz Simple Syrup (1:1)

    • Shake for 20 seconds

    Strain into Martini Glass (no need to double strain, Neal says the ice crystals are good in here, and he’s right!)


    Your drink should be a beautiful pink, not red!

    Michael the painter's reference is Michael Brennan. Neal had a beautiful painting by him sitting behind him during our interview.


    Be on the lookout for Neal’s youtube channel and website.
