I have been making Cosmopolitan cocktails for YEARS and I am here to share the perfect Cosmopolitan recipe! It has been my go to MoMMa Juice beverage which I bring to parties (yes, I have brought it to parties) or serve at home for friends. It’s my indulgent drink of choice to cap off a busy day or week for a relaxing evening at home. There are many reasons I love this perfect Cosmopolitan recipe, it’s not overly sweet and too citrusy or tart. Simply said, it’s just perfect! And it starts with using quality ingredients from fresh lime juice (not bottled), some good quality vodka and the right proportions. My go-to vodkas are Kettle One, Grey Goose or Stoli. Just pick your favorite vodka and you cannot go wrong. So let’s get started and sip and savor the timeless, perfect Cosmopolitan.
What You’ll Need for One Perfect Cosmopolitan:
- 2 ounces of your favorite vodka
- 1 ounce triple sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier
- 3/4 ounce cranberry juice cocktail (I use Ocean Spray)
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- One 2-inch orange or lime peel/twist
- Ice
Directions:
- Fill a cocktail shaker with vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and lime juice and lots of ice.
- Shake the cocktail shaker for about 30 seconds until well chilled and mini ice crystals are created in the shaker. Then, strain into a chilled martini glass.
- Use a cocktail pick to garnish your perfect cosmopolitan with orange or lime peel/twist.
Sip, savor, and enjoy the timeless elegance of the perfect Cosmopolitan. Cheers to you mom, you deserve it! And don’t forget forget to check out these tools to make perfect Cosmopolitan!
