Instructions

  1. To begin preparing your Cosmopolitan, grab a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice cubes.
  2. Add 80ml of vodka, 30ml of Cointreau, and 60ml of cranberry juice to the shaker. Then, pour in 30ml of freshly squeezed lime juice.
  3. Close the shaker securely and shake vigorously to blend all the ingredients, ensuring the drink is chilled properly.
  4. Separate the two pieces of the shaker and use a strainer to pour the cocktail into a chilled Martini glass, keeping the ice cubes behind.
  5. Take a lime, wash it thoroughly, and cut a thin slice to garnish your drink. Make a small slit in the slice so that you can easily attach it to the rim of the glass.
  6. Now your Cosmopolitan is ready to serve! Garnish the glass with the lime slice and enjoy the refreshing, crisp flavors.

Whether you’re hosting a party or enjoying a quiet evening, the Cosmopolitan is a timeless cocktail that brings elegance and a tangy kick to any occasion.
