The Daisy to the Cosmo: The History of the Cosmopolitan Cocktail
The Cosmopolitan is a classic cocktail that has remained a crowd favorite for decades. But have you ever wondered about the origins of this delightful drink? Let’s take a look:
The Classic Daisy
The Daisy is a style of sour drink made from spirits, citrus, and some kind of flavor modifier. In the early days, this usually meant lemon juice and a sweet syrup.
The Cranberry Craze
In the late 1960s, Ocean Spray cranberry juice cocktail debuted on the market. It quickly gained popularity as a mixer, especially when paired with vodka and a bit of lime juice.
The 1934 Recipe
The Cosmopolitan is thought to be a spin-off of a recipe found in the 1934 cocktail book, “Pioneers of Mixing at Elite Bars”. That recipe used vodka, Cointreau, lemon juice, and raspberry syrup.
The Modern-Day Cosmo
The modern-day Cosmopolitan as we know it today didn’t come into existence until the 1980s, thanks largely to Absolut vodka’s release of Absolut citron, their citrus-flavored vodka. As the story goes, a Cointreau rep was introduced to the Cosmo in 1987 at The Odeon in Manhattan. From there, Toby Cecchini put his own spin on the drink by replacing the lime cordial with fresh lime juice and serving it in a martini glass as opposed to a rocks glass filled with ice.
