Cosmopolitan: A Drink Popular In The United States Of America That Immigrants Have Had Even Before Joining The Country

To have some drinks as a way to relax is something that most people do when the weekend starts. This is true not only in the United States of America but also in other countries around the world. While other people may think that such make alcoholics out of those who do, it is really not the case. Occasional drinking does not mean being an alcoholic. Plus, having drinks is a great way to meet other people, especially those who are new in a country like tourists or immigrants. They can enjoy some drinks and may even get to strike up a conversation with other people there who may be doing the same.

 

There are tons and tons of alcoholic (and non-alcoholic) drinks that one can choose from should they visit any one of the bars or pubs in the USA. Beer is definitely one of the most popular ones that people choose but there are also those who may choose something a bit more complicated than beer. There are people who like to have cocktails and one of the classic ones that is quite popular not just only in the USA but also in the entire world is known as the Cosmopolitan.

 

What is the Cosmopolitan?

 

A Cosmopolitan is a classic cocktail and it is said to have been around since the 1970s. It is also said to have been first concocted in the City That Never Sleeps - New York City in the USA - which is probably the reason why it is named as such. The drink’s name itself is quite a mouthful for a lot of people so those who are having a hard time with “Cosmopolitan” can just call it “Cosmo”.

 

To make a Cosmo, one must mix a number of ingredients which include vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice, and orange liqueur. These are then put together and shaken quite vigorously with some cracked ice. Then, it is strained straight into a martini glass and garnished with a twist of lemon. Its taste is quite a treat to the palate which is why it is not surprising that it became quite popular, especially since it has been used in pop culture since the 1990s. Thanks to Carrie Bradshaw, the popular character from the Sex and the City TV show, the Cosmo became a classic and an iconic drink.

 

Variations of the Cosmo

 

There have been a number of variations of this amazing drink in the USA and that includes one that does not go through shaking but instead, the mixture is stirred in a glass. There is also another one that has been featured by TV personality Kathy Wakile which is known as the Red Velvet Cosmo and this is based on the red velvet cake which is one of her fave things to have for dessert.
