Pin this sophisticated 90s cocktail to your “Party Drinks” board!
No 90s drink menu is complete without the Cosmopolitan. This iconic pink drink became a cultural phenomenon, popularized by Sex and the City and symbolizing the glamorous, sophisticated side of the decade. It’s the ultimate glamorous party drink, a perfect blend of sweet and tart that’s surprisingly easy to make. The combination of vodka, cranberry, and lime is a timeless classic that defined an era of cocktail culture.

What You Need:

• 1.5 oz premium vodka (recommended: smooth grain neutral spirit)
• 0.75 oz Cointreau or quality triple sec (ensures proper orange flavor)
• 0.75 oz fresh lime juice (use a citrus juicer for best results)
• 0.5 oz cranberry juice cocktail (not pure cranberry; look for classic ruby red color)
• Ice cubes
• Orange peel or lime wedge for garnish

How To Make It:

1. Chill your martini glass by filling it with ice and water, then set aside.
2. Combine vodka, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and cranberry juice cocktail into a cocktail shaker.

Liqueur density for layering isn’t crucial here, but proper chilling and vigorous shaking are key for a perfectly emulsified drink.

2. Crafting the Classic Appletini: Sweet, Sour, and Iconic

Save this bright green 90s drink for your next 90s themed party!
The Appletini, or sour apple martini, is the poster child for the fluorescent cocktails of the 90s.

This vodka apple drink is incredibly simple to make but delivers a powerful punch of nostalgic flavor, making it a must-have for any authentic 90s bar ideas.

What You Need:

• 1.5 oz smooth vodka (a mid-range, clean tasting spirit works best)
• 1 oz green apple liqueur (like DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker for authentic 90s flavor)
