Cosmopolitan
I’m ready to move on with this drink. I think she’s slightly out of favor nowadays with the ladies, and not such a calling card for the girl’s night at the bar she was five years back. I had one the other night on a whim, and discovered that when made with fresh limejuice and served damn cold, this modern drink can certainly hold her own at my bar. Maybe it’s time we let the Cosmo’s 90’s reputation slide on in to obscurity and welcome a chilled one, on occasion, back into the land of interesting cocktails. Time will tell but…she has my vote.
Here we go –
(This is a 6oz pour, so use your big martini or cocktail glasses)
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Triple Sec or Cointreau
- 2 oz cranberry juice
- 1 oz lime juice (fresh, cold and pulpy)
Shake ingredients in a shaker with plenty of cracked ice, strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime slice or wheel.
