How to make a classic cosmopolitan cocktail. Cosmos, as they are also known, are popular for a reason. This mixed drink is a delightful concoction of cranberry juice, citrus, and vodka. A recipe for the drink of a social butterfly.
Ingredients
• 1 1/2 oz vodka
• 3/4 oz Cointreau
• 1/4 oz fresh lime, juiced
• 2 oz cranberry juice cocktail
• dress with lemon gratings, or lemon twist
Directions
  1. Shake the vodka, Cointreau, lime juice, and cranberry juice with ice. Strain into a martini/cocktail glass.
  2. Sprinkle lemon gratings on top of drink. We like gratings vs. the traditional lemon twist because it adds more aroma to tickle your sense of smell as you sip the cocktail.

    (Note: Only grate the yellow outer zest of the lemon. Do not use the pith, the white underlayer. A microplane works wonderfully for a quick grating.)
  3. Serve chilled. Enjoy!
(Mix it up! Try this recipe with mandarin vodka for a twist.)
