Ingredients for the Perfect Cosmopolitan Recipe

Vodka time is it? For the perfect Cosmopolitan recipe, it’s essential to start with high-quality vodka and freshly squeezed lime juice – skip the bottled stuff for maximum flavor. While champagne adds a luxurious touch, any reasonably priced sparkling wine will do just fine. Remember, it’s all about balance and quality ingredients to create a co*cktail that’s as delicious as it is irresistible. Cheers to crafting co*cktails with care and creativity!

• Vodka: Choose a high-quality vodka with a smooth and clean flavor profile to serve as the base of your cosmopolitan.
• Triple Sec: This orange-flavored liqueur adds a subtle hint of citrusy sweetness to the co*cktail, balancing out the tartness of the other ingredients.
• Cranberry Juice: Opt for a high-quality cranberry juice with a vibrant pink hue to give your cosmopolitan its signature color and tart flavor. You can also use regular cranberry juice, but the co*cktail will be much pinker vs. our blush colored co*cktail.
• Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice is essential for adding brightness and acidity to the co*cktail, enhancing its overall balance.
• Club Soda: Pick Fevertree or QMixrers
• Rose Ice Cubes: Optional but make the co*cktail more festive. Use pink cranberry juice for an extra pink touch
• Ice: Don’t forget to have plenty of ice on hand to chill your co*cktail and keep it refreshingly cold.
• Garnishes: These can be as simple as lime wheels or lemon twists

How to Make the Cosmo Spritz

Now that you’ve gathered your ingredients, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get mixing! The day before, freeze your rose ice cubes with pink cranberry juice. Start by filling a Mikasa co*cktail shaker with ice to chill your ingredients and ensure a perfectly chilled co*cktail. Next, add vodka, triple sec, fresh lime juice, pink cranberry juice to the shaker. Secure the lid on the co*cktail shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to thoroughly mix and chill the ingredients.

Once shaken, strain the co*cktail into a coupe glass, using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any ice shards or pulp. Then top with sparkling wine and a splash of club soda. Finally, garnish your cosmopolitan with a twist of lime peel or a few fresh cranberries for an elegant finishing touch.
