The Cosmopolitan has quickly become a contemporary classic, a kind of modern- day gin martini.

Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda, the leading ladies from “Sex and the City,” started drinking them back in 1998 and I don’t think women in America have stopped since.

It seems as though it has become a bit of a cliché for a woman to order a Cosmo these days, though.

The drink seems to have become a bit overdone. To combat that, here is a new twist on the Cosmopolitan: a Champagne Cosmopolitan.
