Fresh lime juice – use freshly squeeze lime for the best cosmos!
When choosing vodka for cosmopolitan cocktails, go for something mid to high
range. We usually stock Stolichnaya or “Stoli,” but use what you know you enjoy.
Lower-priced vodka tastes a bit more abrasive.
I’m also a stickler on using fresh lime juice — not bottled lime juice. We realize it’s
a little more work, but the taste is much better. If you love fresh citrus as much as
me in your cocktail recipes, take a look at our lemon drop martini cocktail or these
vodka gimlets.

garnish, but if you do it right, it adds a little sweetness, and as you take a sip of
your cosmopolitan cocktail, you’ll get orange essence, which hides the strength
and scent of the vodka.
⭐️ When you add the orange peel, peel it over the drink. This way, any oils
spraying from the orange fall into the drink. Rubbing the edges of the glass
doesn’t hurt either. Trust me, it makes a huge difference.
1 Fill a cocktail shaker with ice then add your vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice
and lime juice.

The Cosmopolitan is such a fresh, bright, and happy drink. Don’t you think?
Not too sweet or too tart, this cosmopolitan cocktail recipe is perfect to serve one
or many. We like to use unflavored or citrus-flavored vodka in this cocktail.

1 Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and
lime juice. We like the extra bite of extra lime juice, so we use 1/2 an ounce in
our cosmopolitan cocktails. However, use what is best for your taste.
2 Shake the cocktail shaker for about 30 seconds until well chilled. Then, strain
into a martini glass.
3 Garnish with orange peel/twist. Peel the orange twist over the filled cocktail
glass so the orange oils spray into the glass.

I tried about 4 or 5 Cosmopolitan recipes in the past few months. This one is
my favorite by far! Just the right balance for my taste! Not too sweet, not too
tart!!

I love Cosmos and this is my go-to recipe and has been for a number of years.
I use GranGala (a less expensive version of Gran Marnier) and during the
holidays when I have my homemade Spiced Apple Cranberry relish on hand, I
add a very little dollop of that to my shaker.
