Cosmopolitan

Like most chicks my age, I first happened upon the Cosmopolitan (or Cosmo as its affectionately known) when I began watching Sex & The City.  Desperate to be Carrie Bradshaw, I knew that I wanted to only drink Cosmos going forward... (I was 16, I have since learned that there are many other drinks out there and also that Carrie Bradshaw is a bit of a bitch!).  

I had my share of cosmopolitans during my formative years which were OK, however, it wasn’t until I started making cocktails myself that I started to actually appreciate how great this drink actually is.  When treated with respect and great ingredients used, it’s a damn fine cocktail.  And we all know how much those SATC girls love a good COCKtail.

Serves 1

​Ingredients:

25ml lime juice
25ml Cointreau or Triple Sec
50ml Vodka (I LOVE Our/London, but any vodka will do)
50ml Cranberry Juice
garnish with a lime twist/lime wedge/orange twist/orange wedge (whatever you have to hand)

Method:
​1) Add all ingredients to your cocktail shaker (I prefer a Boston shaker, but any shaker will work)
2) Fill with ice
3) SHAKE!  (You only need to do this to ensure everything is mixed, if you over-shake, you will dilute the drink too much and that will affect the flavour)
4) Strain into a martini or coupe glass (I prefer a coupe, but that’s just me)
5) Garnish & drink.  Responsibly, of course!
