1. Story about the original cocktail recipe
The Cosmopolitan is often viewed as a variation on the classic 1980s Kamikaze cocktail. The Cosmopolitan became popular in Miami and New York in the 1990s when it was refined by bartenders in the LGBTQ community. The cocktail's popularity rose through the television series "Sex and the City", in which it was often drunk.
However, the exact origins of the Cosmopolitan cocktail are very controversial. Some believe it originated in the bars of South Beach, Miami in the 1980s, while others claim it was invented in New York City. Some sources cite Cheryl Cook, a bartender from San Francisco, as the cocktail's inventor, while others point to John Caine, a bartender from Minneapolis. Nevertheless, one thing is certain: the Cosmopolitan Cocktail has become one of the most famous and popular cocktails and is an indispensable part of every cocktail bar.
