Cosmopolitan

Recipe

Ingredients (serves 2):

1/2 lime
3 ounces vodka
1 1/2 ounces Cointreau
2 ounces cranberry juice
Ice

Directions:

• Fill cocktail shaker with ice.
• Squeeze in juice of the lime half.
• Add vodka and Cointreau.
• Top with cranberry juice.
• Sugar the rims of two chilled martini glasses (optional).
• Shake the Cosmopolitan briskly for 10-15 seconds and serve in the chilled martini glasses.
• Garnish with a lime wedge if desired.

Bartender’s Hint:   For best mixing results, use a cocktail shaker that’s large enough to allow for about an inch of empty space after adding all ingredients.   Shake your Cosmopolitan vigorously until the shaker is frosted on the outside.
