Cosmopolitan Cocktail
A cosmopolitan is a cocktail made with vodka, Cointreau or Triple Sec, cranberry juice, and fresh squeezed lime juice or sweetened lime juice. Informally, it is referred to as a Cosmo.
The classic Cosmopolitan, became one of the favorite cocktails ever due mostly to it’s role in the HBO show, Sex and the City. Most bartenders know how to make this light, fruity Martini, making it a great choice for a casual night out. There are hundreds of variations on the Cosmo, some use more or less cranberry juice, some triple sec instead of Cointreau, and some include a citrus vodka. It’s all a matter of personal preference, this is the way I like it.

Everyone has a personal library of meaningful smells. The memories they trigger are somehow more intense than those we dredge up by conscious effort. It’s as if smell provides a shortcut to our deepest memories and brings them back complete with the emotions and sensations we felt at the time.
