My Cointreau Cosmopolitan Recipe

I’ve tweaked my Cosmopolitan recipe over the years, but here’s the one I’m drinking this summer…

Cointreau Cosmopolitan Recipe

What’s not to love about a pink martini?

1 shot vodka
1 T Cointreau
cranberry juice
lime wedges

ice

Use good vodka.  If the name sounds like a Russian magician, it’s probably bad choice. Smirnoff is on the edge.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.  Add the vodka, Cointreau, a shot or so of cranberry juice, and a squeeze of lime. Shake the heck out of it.  Strain it into a martini glass, top it off with a bit more cranberry juice and another squeeze of lime.

Now head outside and enjoy it while wearing a fabulous maxi dress, your favorite lipstick, and your most glamorous accessories!

    OK, please don’t think I’m a spammer despite my chatty fingers! I’m back & with a link again at my blog to find you easier… I have already explained to you my motives to learn so hope that makes me less scary stalker-y…

    That sounds yum! A rarity, but just happen to have at the moment some handcrafted small batch vodka, a lime, may have to tweak the cranberry juice to hibiscus — but what is cointreau?

    OK, in truth, this will have to wait for another day & I hope I don’t forget. Thank you for telling me what a pink martini is! I never knew, but I’m a big fan of the band. Are you?

    Oh, cointreau = triplesec, orange liquer… Hubby says this is like a Kamamikaze! Perhaps this will make him think this is less girly? We’re going to do this at some point soon, but may have to forgo both triplesec & cranberry… (Neither on hand; sorry!)

    I’m full of questions!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
