How to mix Cosmopolitan Drink
- Chill your glass by putting some ice in it, until we mix the drink.Cubed Ice
- Put Vodka, Cointreau, Cranberry juice, freshly squeezed lime juice and lot of ice in Shaker and shake it vigorously for around 30 secs.45 ml Vodka, 15 ml Cointreau liqueur, 30 ml Cranberry Juice, 10 ml Lime Juice, Cubed Ice
- Remove the ice from the glass and strain the drink into the cocktail glass.
- Now just before you serve, time for some splash of orange aroma. To do this, take a small piece of orange zest ~ 5 cm and hold it between your finger and thumb above your Cosmopolitan (~7 - 8 cm). Now light the lighter and place it between the peel and the drink glass. Gently bend the peel so it releases oil onto the lighter flame, igniting a flame that will settle the oil on the surface of the drink. Garnish the drink with a zest of orange or you can even let it slip it into the drink.
- Now as you sip the drink you can smell the fresh aroma of orange zest.Orange Zest
Notes
Few considerations while preparing and serving the cocktail -
- If you don't want to do that flame trick, then you can just take a zest of orange and twist it to release some essential oils and just let it slip into the Cosmopolitan before you serve.
