About This Course
The Cosmopolitan is a chic, modern cocktail combining vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice. Its vibrant pink hue and balanced sweetness–tartness profile make it both visually striking and refreshing. Shaken with ice and served in a chilled martini (V-) glass, the Cosmo has become synonymous with sophisticated gatherings and cocktail culture.
