This week we’re back to one of the gorgeous cocktails I enjoyed on my cruise. This time, it’s the classic Cosmopolitan. As a fan of Sex and the City, this cocktail is always spiked with nostalgia for me. Taste-wise, I love the sharp tang of cranberry set off against the bittersweet tang of the orange rind.
What you’ll need:
- 50ml mandarin or lemon vodka
- 30ml cranberry juice
- squeeze of lime juice
- orange rind
What to do:
- Shake the liquid ingredients over ice then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with a curl of orange rind.
Top tip: For an even tastier cosmo, hold a 3cm round piece of rind about 10cm above your drink. Carefully pass it over a flame, bending the outer side of the rind towards the flame to release the oils before dropping it into the drink.
What’s your favourite cocktail? Let me know in the comments section.
