Cosmopolitan and 2 Other Easy Cocktails

A modern classic (sic) cocktail and pop culture favorite with vodka, cointreau, cranberry juice, and a little bit of lime juice. Sweet, just enough orange to balance the cranberry, with just enough lime to balance the happy duo.

Required Ingredients;
  • Vodka
  • Cointreau (Or Triple Sec, though I find Cointreau to be nicer)
  • Cranberry Juice
  • Ice
  • 3 Wedges of Lime
Fill your Boston Glass and a Martini Glass with ice and measure in all the ingredients to the Boston Glass as follows;
  1. 2 Parts Vodka
  2. 1 Part Cointreau
  3. 2 Wedges of Lime
  4. 3 Parts Cranberry Juice
Firmly attach your Shaker to your Boston Glass and shake well.
Empty the ice out of the Martini Glass and strain the mix from your Boston Glass into it.
Garnish with a wedge of lime and serve with a straw.

The Cosmo is plenty easy to make, and very popular, ideal for Hen Parties, Birthdays and the likes, you can also learn ho to make the mighty Long Island Iced Tea, and the surprising (a nice surprise) West Indy Yellowbird HERE
