Squid Mixes: Cosmopolitan

Cheers from our winter wonderland!
 A cosmopolitan, cosmo for short, combines cranberry juice with vodka, lime juice and triple sec.  I got my recipe from The New York Bartender's Guide.  The lime juice supplies most of the flavor, the cranberry juice the color.  My effort was a bit cloudy but the wife described it as lovely and asked for a second one so I guess it was a success.  Cosmos took off in the late 1990s when they were prominently featured in the television sitcom, Sex and the City

    1. It is cheery in a Christmassy sort of way - a good color for it, too.

      Merry Christmas!
