After a long day, a good drink is a great way to unwind. Traditional Cosmos are pretty stout drinks. I'm more of a lover of flavor over potency, so I make mine a smidgen different, but it results in a much more palatable drink that you can sip all night long.
Classy Cosmopolitan
1 oz Cointreau orange liqueur
1 oz Belvedere vodka
1/2 oz fresh-squeezed lime
2 oz cranberry juice
Combine all ingredients with ice. Shake and strain into a martini glass.
For those of you looking for a more "standard" or "traditional" cosmopolitian, here's a good recipe. A cosmopolitian is actually a pink-ish drink. Less red means more alcohol, so a real cosmopolitian will sit you down in a hurry.
Cosmopolitan
3 oz Absolut Citron
1 oz Cointreau orange liqueur
1 oz cranberry juice
Splash of lime juice
Combine all ingredients with ice. Shake and strain into a martini glass.
Make it "your own" by adding or subtracting ingredients. As always, let me know what you've tried and how it's worked.
