Cosmopolitan
Aided by HBO's wildly popular "Sex and the City", whose characters were often seen with a Cosmopolitan in hand, this light pink drink may have been the most popular cocktail in America during the mid 1990s and early 2000s. The history of the drink actually doesn't date much earlier and was invented in the mid '80s when flavored vodka was getting its foothold behind the bar.
Absolut Citron and Ocean Spray cranberry juice were the defining ingredients in the original Cosmo, but for our alcohol-free version we're going to use Seedlip Grove 42—which makes a terrific citrus vodka alternative in drinks like this one or a Lemon Drop—and hibiscus tea.
