Apparently 2021 is the Summer of the Cosmopolitan. I'm not down with that shit.

Fuck a whole bunch of that noise.

I have a strawberry patch that is positively FIRING (already), two fifths of Wray & Nephew locked and loaded, and have fielded inquiries from two separate households as to when I plan to start making more rum punch.

Rumspringa is nigh.

Nobody I hang out with gives a shit about some cosmos.


Hey you! Hey rummie! Come here!

I just discovered them at a golf course this past Fall. I plan on riding that train this summer for certain. Choo choo.

But let no man or woman or hipster alcohol guide deter us from the true path. Summer of Rum Twenty-One will be glorious. It will do the unthinkable and be the sequel that exceeds the original even when the original may have half-saved a pandemic.

We rum people don't fuck with Cosmo people. And I'm ok with that.


More damn rum, gin and Bourbon for me then!

That said, a well-made Cosmopolitan is not a bad cocktail. While it wouldn't make my ordering list normally, Dante is a world-class cocktail bar so I'd probably give their riffs on it a whirl.

If that comes to fruition, there is a silver lining:

More rum for us!

That article did raise a question for me: what is it with vodka drinks (or vodka drinkers?) that people want to re-use the name of the drink for 67 different recipes? The article referenced an endless stream of cosmopolitans. And consider the state of martinis - first, a real martini uses gin, so the term "vodka martini" is already wrong. But then they add all of these different syrups and crap, and people still call them martinis. The name of the drink becomes meaningless if you have to list every single ingredient for the bartender to make it.

Finally, before somebody else posts it:


Why wait till summer, when you can start rumspringa now!

And I will not be serving Cosmo's by the pool this summer no matter what the asshats in NY are doing.


You do realize how much booze is in a Cosmo, right? *

You filthy genius. I've been awkwardly saying Spring of Rum to myself for a few weeks. Now I am ashamed.


Awwww, c'mon!!!

it's REALLY easy not to order a Cosmo. My 50 year streak is intact.


It's a classier Seabreeze. *
