with an edit summary of "Rules about IBA cocktails specify the IBA recipe is the one to use. Also, most every 'origin'-recipe specify Cointreau, so no. The opposite, though, might work."
I assume by "IBA" the editor means the International Bartenders Association. But who cares what they say? It sticks in my craw to valorize a particular brand name because some external body says so. Maybe they have a sponsorship/endorsement relationship with the Cointreau Corporation, who knows? And even if not, their concerns are not necessarily the same as our concerns.
IMO it's a still a Cosmopolitan if you use another brand of triple sec and I would be quite wary telling our readers it isn't, and of endorsing particular brands. On this basis I reverted the edit. Herostratus (talk) 22:31, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
