Cosmo's Anyone?

So it has been so hot lately that I was setting last night thinking about drinks and the all time classic came to mind "The Cosmopolitan".



It is such a great drink, esspecially in the summer when it is warm. It would be a great choice for a signature during a cocktail hour or a wedding reception.

You could even put a nice twist to it by calling it a cute name like "The ____ Cosmo" and put in your name or your new last name. It really personalizes it.




So I figured for all those out there that might not have experienced the Cosmo, the recipe is below.

Basic Cosmo Drink Recipe

1 ounce vodka

Cranberry juice cocktail

Pour 1 ounce vodka and cranberry juice cocktail over ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake til chilled. Serve on the rocks in a Highball glass.


Spiffed Up Cosmopolitan (This is the best Cosmopolitan Drink recipe, in my opinion.)

1/2 jigger lime juice

1 jigger vodka (Absolut Citron vodka is best)

1 jigger Triple Sec

1 jigger Cranberry Juice Cocktail

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add all of the ingredients. Shake til very cold. Strain into chilled martini cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of lime.
