After more than a few awkward moments a name floated to the surface. I snagged it out of the murky pond and blurted out the name, John Ramirez.

In the middle of the first page in large font is a prominently featured drink recipe for "The Best Cosmopolitan Ever." Yup, finally someone has devised the best version of the cocktail. Unfortunately for mankind, the drink bares only faint resemblance to the most popular drink of the last decade.
