Cosmopolitan

Day 200

Cosmopolitan

5 shots out of 5

Here we are, on the Sunday of a holiday weekend.  We spent the afternoon at the local Art & Wine Festival.  Had a few beers, some good food and walked the Festival.  Now my husband and oldest are off to game three of this weekends tournament, second oldest is watching Star Wars at the neighbors and the girls and I are hanging out here.

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  I must say, I have made a cosmo in the past and didn't like it at all, so refused to include it into my Year of Cocktails until I found one that I liked.  Guess what?!?!  I found one I liked!!  Tonight's cocktail comes from Pimp Daddy and I must Thank You Pimp Daddy for your recipe because I am enjoying this cocktail........a little too much!  Each ingredients in tonight's cocktail blends together quite well with the others.  The only thing I added to Pimp Daddy's recipe was the sugared rim to my martini glass.  This will absolutely be my "Go To" cosmo recipe in the future!

(P.S., check out my new Contest & Giveaway tab!  I have my very first Giveaway for you!!)

Here is the recipe for a Cosmopolitan:

• 2 oz cranberry juice
• 2 oz vodka
• 1 oz lime juice
• 1/2 oz triple sec

In a shaker add ice and all of the ingredients above.  Shake up you mixture well and strain it into a sugar rimmed martini glass.

Here is a photo of the end result:
