Is a Cosmopolitan a woman’s drink?

Cosmopolitans were originally a martini enjoyed mostly by men. The hit television show Sex and the City transformed this drink into a popular cocktail that women now love too!

Triple Sec Substitute 

You can easily substitute triple sec for Cointreau! Cointreau is also an orange liqueur but has an alcohol content of 40% while triple sec’s content is 15-30%. 

Sweet Or Sour

This Cosmo Cocktail has just the right balance of sweet from the simple syrup and sour from the fresh lime juice!
