Change measure

The origins of the Cosmopolitan are somewhat disputed. It is likely that the drink was created independently by different bartenders since the 1970s. It is generally recognised that John Caine brought the drink to San Francisco around 1987 from the Midwest. The same year in Manhattan, the internationally recognised version of the cocktail was created by Toby Cecchini, based on a poorly described version of Cheryl Cook's creation.

Method

Add all the ingredients to a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice, and shake until the outside of the shaker becomes frosted. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a twist of lemon peel before serving.
