History
A Cosmopolitan featuring a distinct berry fruit presence.
This cocktail was created in 1993 by Chuck Coggins at Marion's Continental Restaurant & Lounge in New York City. He used Absolut Kurant Vodka, which had recently been launched at the time. Marion's itself was established in 1950 by Marion Nagy, a fashion model who sought asylum in the United States after competing for Hungary in the Paris Peace Games after WWII.
