Cosmopolitan | How to Drink
On this episode of How to Drink, I am making the best Cosmo you’ve ever had in honor of “Sex and the City’s” 20th anniversary. The Cosmopolitan is more than just Vodka cranberry, it is comprised of multiple ingredients, and as I demonstrate in this episode it’s one that leaves some room to improve upon too. Hope you enjoy, cheers!
As to the history of the cocktail, it's a bit murky. Some hold that it was invented at the Odeon in NYC in 1987, but I've read that Wondrich found menu's with it from a hotel bar somewhere in the Caribbean from the 1970's. None the less, it it is an evolution on the Daisy, and as such has pre-prohibition roots, and a cousin to the Margarita.
Cosmopolitan Ingredients:
- .25 oz or 8 ml Simple Syrup
- .5 oz or 15 ml Lime Juice
- 1 oz or 30 ml Cranberry Juice
- 1 oz or 30 ml Curaçao
- 2 oz or 60 ml Vodka
- Barspoon of Maraschino (Optional)
- Garnish with a Lime Wheel

Cocktails with a Curator: Leoni's Medal of Andrea Doria
In this week’s episode of “Cocktails with a Curator,” Assistant Curator of Sculpture Giulio Dalvit discusses the history behind a 16th-century medal by Leone Leoni depicting the Genoese admiral Andrea Doria. Currently on view on the third floor of Frick Madison, this maritime-themed medal was cast by the artist as a token of gratitude to its subject, who singlehandedly freed Leone after the artist was sentenced to a galley in the admiral’s fleet. As Andrea Doria waged war on pirates in the western Mediterranean, this week's complementary cocktail is grog, preferred drink of sailors and pirates alike.

“a hot, hellish, & terrible liquor”: Rum & the Taste of Empire in Colonial North America
One of the first Europeans to taste rum, an English settler to Barbados named John Lingon, called the spirit “Kill-devil… a hot, hellish, and terrible liquor.” It wasn’t long, however, before his palate was in the minority. By the 18th century, rum was not only considered indispensable for Christmas parties, evening routs, and pirate ships, it was a commodity that greased the wheels of Britain’s empire and fuelled the rebels who sought to destroy it in 1776. From pantry to table-top, taverns to the top brass, this lecture will explore how colonial people (in both Canada and the US) drank, traded, and fought over Lingon’s terrible ‘rum-bullion.’
Renée Salhany is an associate professor of history at Brock University, who researches the history of drink, drinkers and the trouble they got themselves into, particularly during the War of 1812 era.
