Last weekend I spent my Saturday night out celebrating my friend’s birthday. While I know that this specific group of friends are not big drinkers and would rather enjoy a dessert instead of a cocktail I am a lover of the good ol’ Cosmo and once in a while when the bar we’re at looks like it could make a good drink I go for it!
I have tried a few cosmopolitans here in Italy, but to tell you the truth one was worse than the other! Either they put too much liquor in it or they don’t put any at all.
Luckily, last weekend I decided to give it a try at the “BBQ” a bar/restaurant in Ariccia (a town near mine) where we went for my friend’s birthday. The Cosmopolitan they brought me was not only finally A Cosmopolitan, but they also added cucumber to it making it even more special and a perfect Summer drink.
I finally found a good Cosmopolitan here in Rome, but none of them will ever beat the one I tasted in Toronto two years ago which was made by master mixologist, Dale Degroff.
Dale make me another one pleaseeee!
