Elevate Your Cosmopolitan Day: Unique Recipesn for the 7th of May

20 March 2025

Cosmopolitan Day, observed annually on May 7th, honors the timeless elegance and vibrant spirit of the Cosmopolitan.

This day is a tribute to the creativity and flair that bartenders bring to the world of mixology.

The Cosmopolitan cocktail, often simply referred to as the "Cosmo," gained widespread popularity in the 1990s, thanks in part to its frequent feature on the television show "Sex and the City." However, its origins date back to the 1970s, when bartender Neal Murray reportedly created the first version by adding a splash of cranberry juice to a Kamikaze. The result was a refreshing and visually striking cocktail that quickly became a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts.

In celebration of Cosmopolitan Day, we invite Marriott bartenders to explore the diverse and exquisite portfolio of Pernod Ricard brands. Here are four drink suggestions, including three variations of the classic Cosmopolitan and one non-alcoholic option, to inspire your creativity and delight your guests.
