I had my first Cosmopolitan at the bar last night. Ya know, the trendy drink. The drink that makes you feel all posh and bitchy when you drink it....! Good god those are yummy. At $5 a pop they better fucking be. I think I will be drinking those from now on, instead of LIT's.

Curious as to what exactly is in it? Here are three different recipes:
