Description
Cosmopolitan is a modern and fascinating vodka cocktail with a wonderful pink colour. It consists of vodka, triple sec, cranberry and lime juice, a faintly sour and refreshing mixture. Like with many other vodka drinks, be careful, even if you hardly notice, it contains about 20 % of alcohol.
The powerful pink and slightly dulled colour comes from the cranberry juice. The transparent spirits brighten it up and lime juice causes a soft dull. Especially if you serve Cosmopolitan in a martini glass with lime zest you will attract a lot of attention.
Cosmopolitan is a delicious cocktail for many occasions that really has what it takes.
