The Cosmopolitan rose to fame in the 1990s through Sex and the City, but bartender Toby Cecchini actually perfected the recipe in 1988 at The Odeon in Manhattan. The balance of citrus vodka, Cointreau, cranberry, and lime creates a beautifully pink, perfectly tart cocktail that is as delicious as it is photogenic.
