Instructions

  1. To a cocktail shaker add vodka, lime juice, triple sec, and cranberry juice. Add ice and cover the shaker. Shake until well chilled.
  2. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a lime slice.

Notes

  • Vodka: Some versions of the cosmo are made with citrus-flavored vodka. Unflavored works, too.
  • Triple sec: Or any orange-flavored liqueur such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
  • Yield: This recipe makes 1 Cosmopolitan cocktail.
  • Glassware: The Cosmo is traditionally made in a cocktail glass (martini glass). But, it is not actually a type of martini.
  • Big batch: To make a batch of 8 cocktails, combine 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) Prosecco, 2 ounces (1/4 cup) lime juice, 2 ounces (1/4 cup) triple sec, and 2 ounces (1/4 cup) cranberry juice in a pitcher. Have ice, glassware, and garnishes on hand so guests can help themselves.
  • Sea Breeze: Made in a highball glass. Substitute 6 ounces (3/4 cup) grapefruit juice for the triple sec and increase the cranberry juice to 2 ounces (1/4 cup).
  • Cape Codder: AKA a vodka cranberry. Add 1 1/2 ounces (3 tbsp) vodka to a highball glass filled with ice, then top with cranberry juice. Garnish with a lime wedge.
  • Kamikaze cocktail: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, ad 1 1/2 ounces (3 tbsp) vodka, 1 ounce (2 tbsp.) orange liqueur, and 1 ounce (2 tbsp.) lime juice. Shake until chilled, then strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a lime wedge. For a kamikaze shot, combine 1 ounce (2 tbsp) vodka, 2 tsp. orange liqueur, and 2 tsp. lime juice in a shot glass.
  • Non-alcoholic: Replace the triple sec with orange juice and the vodka with pink lemonade.
