Drinks anyone?
Since I bought my pretty new waterford cocktail glasses I decided I needed to find a few recipes to go with them.
Informally referred to as a Cosmo, the Cosmopolitan is usually served in a cocktail glass. For this reason it is often erroneously categorized as a martini because martinis are also served in cocktail glasses. Some variations call for sour mix instead of limejuice.
Cosmopolitan Cocktail #1 (Most common)
Ingredients:
1 oz vodka
½ oz triple sec
½ oz Rose's lime juice
½ oz cranberry juice
Directions: Shake vodka, triple sec, lime and cranberry juice vigorously in a shaker with ice.
Strain into a martini glass, garnish with a lime wedge on the rim, and serve.
Cosmopolitan Cocktail #2
Ingredients:
1 oz Smirnoff vodka
½ oz Smirnoff watermelon vodka
½ oz triple sec
1 splash Rose's lime juice
1 splash sweet and sour mix
½ oz cranberry juice
Same directions as Cosmo #1
ENJOY!!

I would like to add to your cosmo collection. Since it is MY personal favorite (other than your basic vodka-tonic with double lime) I like to think I have samples quite a few. I recommend adding L'orange (sp?) Absolute or another orange flavored vodka. It makes it even yummier, if that is possible. ENJOY!
