Looking for a new go-to cocktail to spice up your night out? We’ve all been there, the moment you’re at a pregame and all of your friends know exactly what they want to drink. You feel lost, confused, and tired of the same old choices, without any ideas for an alternative to drink.
But after an extensive search for our perfect new cocktail, we have finally found the Cosmopolitan.
