Story about Cosmopolitan
• One of the most common mistakes is to over pour the cranberry juice. A proper Cosmopolitan should be “blushingly pink”!
• Flame the oils of your orange zest twist with a lighter over the drink if you want to impress your friends and become the center of attention at the party!
• When shaking: Remember to wake the drink to life, do not rock it to bed.
