If you asked the average person to name a cocktail, The Cosmopolitan would probably be on the short list. If you asked the average person what was in it, you might not get past vodka in a martini glass with some other stuff.

Join us as we head way, way, back to the 1980s to talk the evolution and disputed origins of this cocktail. We also discuss what cosmopolitan means, the drinks cultural significance, and a resurgence in the early 2000s because of its association with Sex in the City.
