We couldn’t help but wonder why did the classic Cosmopolitan ever go out of style? Maybe it had something to do with Manolo-obsessed Carrie Bradshaw, but leave it up to Latinos for bringing this light, vodka-based concoction back in fashion. Unlike the Cosmos from the HBO hit series “Sex and the City,” the Mexican Cosmopolitan adds some much needed kick to this fruity, girly cocktail, which will lure the finest gents to mingle with any lady sipping on this tantalizing number. Featuring icy tequila, tart cranberry juice, and bone chilling vodka, no bartender will roll his eyes at you for making such a fabulous choice during happy hour. Who needs Samantha, Miranda, or even Charlotte when all you’ll want is a drink from down south to truly heat up your night?
