Carrie Bradshaw may have made the Cosmopolitan cocktail one that you can’t sip without humming the Sex and the City theme song, but it’s also an absolute classic to serve during the holidays.
As we near Thanksgiving, there’s no better time to try out some recipes before hosting your holiday gatherings, and thanks to Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy, he has just the thing for you. The 39-year-old actor partnered with legendary liqueur brand Cointreau to create a sweet and simple Cosmopolitan recipe he admittedly can’t stop sipping.
“In a shock to absolutely, nobody, my favorite holiday cocktail is the iconic Cosmopolitan,” Levy said in a press release about the partnership. “Fortunately for me, it’s also easy to make with just four simple ingredients — Cointreau, vodka, fresh lime juice and a festive splash of cranberry juice. A failsafe, timeless classic.”
Levy’s cocktail recipe adds a sophisticated touch to the holidays, making it the perfect refreshment to impress all of your friends and family. Plus, the festive cranberry flavor provides a satisfying taste leaving everyone wanting more.
“We’re excited to continue our partnership with Dan Levy over the coming holiday season,” said Nicolas Beckers, President and CEO at Rémy Cointreau America. “Cointreau is all about bringing people together to catch up over their favorite cocktails, and this season, the holidays start with a Cosmo.”
The Cosmopolitan was first created in New York City in 1988 by Brooklyn bartender Toby Cecchin, who used Cointreau in his creation. It’s since gone down to be one of the most well-known Cointreau classics.
Whether toasting with your friends à la Bradshaw, or whipping it up for a holiday party, no one can resist the festive feeling this drink brings.
