About this cocktail
Bartender Neal Murray claims he created the Cosmopolitan in 1975 at the Cork & Cleaver in Minneapolis. When he added a splash of cranberry juice to a Kamikaze, a customer declared “How cosmopolitan!”
The cocktail became popular in the 80s when Manhattan bartender, Toby Cecchini, made the drink at Odeon and it then appeared on ‘Sex In The City’.
