Make A Cosmo

If you’re hosting a party and want to impress your friends with how “chic” you’re becoming, serving Cosmo’s are great way to do this. Cosmopolitans are a great social drink. With its tart taste and vodka undertones, it is bound to loosen up even your most uptight friend.


Instructions


1. Once you have gathered all of your materials, start by placing crushed ice into your shaker. If you do not have a standard shaker, a great and cheap alternative is a protein shake shaker. These can be purchased at GNC, or any other vitamin/supplement shop for around $2.


2. Take your vodka of choice, if you desire a fruitier Cosmo then a citrus flavored vodka will work great. Add ½ (0.5) ounce of vodka into your shaker.


3. After you had added your vodka, add 1 ounce of Triple Sec, or Cointreau, to the shaker.


4. You will now add ½ ounce of lime juice and a ¼ ounce of cranberry juice. Close your shaker and shake for at least fifteen seconds, allowing all of the flavors to mix together.


5. Strain the Cosmo into your chilled cocktail glass and finish off the drink with a orange peel.
