Notes
Tips for Making a Cosmopolitan Cocktail
- Choose a citrus-flavored spirit. Gin or vodka work well in cosmopolitan cocktails.
- Add Triple Sec or other orange-flavored liqueur to the drink.
- Use lots of ice and make sure it’s cold before you add the alcohol. This will chill the drink and help it blend better with other ingredients.
- Use fresh lime juice.
- Make sure cranberry juice is sweetened. Unsweetened would make this drink too tart.
