One of the most well-love cocktial among ladies
Here's a recipe for a classic Cosmopolitan cocktail:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 ounces (45 ml) vodka
- 1 ounce (30 ml) cranberry juice
- 1/2 ounce (15 ml) triple sec
- 1/2 ounce (15 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
- Ice cubes
- Lime twist or orange peel, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
- Add the vodka, cranberry juice, triple sec, and lime juice to the shaker.
- Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the ingredients and mix them thoroughly.
- Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass.
- If desired, garnish the drink with a lime twist or a twist of orange peel. You can express the oils from the twist over the drink by gently squeezing it to release its fragrance.
Note: Some variations of the Cosmopolitan call for a splash of fresh orange juice or a sweetener like simple syrup, but the recipe above represents the classic version. Adjustments can be made to suit individual preferences.
Enjoy your homemade Cosmopolitan responsibly!
