Classic Cosmopolitan made with your favorite vodka, triple sec, a splash of cranberry juice and lime for a simple and classic cocktail for any gathering.
The Class Cosmopolitan has a reputation of being a “girly” drink but it really is a great classic suitable for many occasions girly or not. Bridal showers, holiday gatherings, date night, New Years Eve, or just hanging with friends on the weekend- this drink just works.
Classic Cosmopolitan
All you need to make this Classic Cosmopolitan is the few basic ingredients, jigger, a cocktail shaker and some martini glasses. I found these Martini Freeze Cooling Glasses from Host on Amazon and they are a pretty neat find. You place the glasses in the freezer for a couple hours and there is a solution inside that freezes to keep your cocktails cool while drinking.
To make your Class Cosmopolitan:
- Fill the cocktail shaker with ice.
- Measure out your ingredients using a jigger and place into shaker.
- Shake, shake, shake.
- Pour into martini glass.
