Recipe for the bartender’s cosmopolitan
Bartender’s take on the classic American drink, Cosmopolitan. It’s simple, fresh, and tastes delightful.
In my work with GastroFun PREMIUM, I’ve had the fortune of meeting skilled culinary profiles, and here I’ve been taught by Burak Morali, who has been a bartender for 20 years and among other achievements, secured 3rd place in the Danish Cocktail Championship.
The drink is believed to have been invented in the late 1930s in Manhattan (New York) and is especially popular among women, perhaps because it was Carrie Bradshaw’s (the main character in the series “Sex and the City”) favorite drink.
The drink is certainly not “girly” and can be enjoyed by everyone.
