The Cocktail Spirit with Robert Hess - Cosmopolitan

First arriving in the mid 80's, the Cosmopolitan was "the" cocktail of the 90's. While it is still popular today, some may avoid it less they be seen as simply "following the pack". Since the Cosmo follows the classic-style formula of such great drinks as the Sidecar, Margarita, Daiquiri, and Aviation, there is nothing at all wrong with this drink, just be careful to make it with good quality ingredients.

@jbird206 - "originally" bitters were necessary in anything called a "cocktail", but that definition (unfortunately) has been relaxed a bit these days, but frankly orange bitters work really wall in a Cosmo... and so does gin :->

Didn't you tell us that a cocktail had bitters?
