COSMOPOLITAN:
THE FLIRTY GIRL DRINK
W
e simply call it a Cosmo. The pretty, fruity and mellow cocktail became popular during the late 1990s when HBO’s “Sex and the City” was one of the hottest shows on the air. It was the go-to drink for the four friends for many seasons—and then you didn’t see it for a while. In one of the last episodes, when the ladies ordered the bev, one asked, “why did we ever stop drinking these?” Another quipped, “because everyone else started.” When you’re hot, you’re hot! No matter how you feel about this flirty concoction, it’s still a good darn drink…and it is best served with girlfriends. Enjoy!
