COINTREAU
COSMOPOLITAN
¾ measure Cointreau
1 ½ measure vodka
Fresh lime juice
Splash of cranberry
It was a “back of the bottle” kind of night and the cocktail
recipe that caught my eye was on the back on my Cointreau bottle. I’ve become a
big fan of the orange liquor from France and this recipe sounded yummy. Called
the COINTREAU COSMOPOLITAN, I was intrigued by the cocktail’s mixture of
Cointreau and vodka — another favorite of mine. Plus, I had some lime and
cranberry juice in the new fridge. Done! I can’t understand why any liquor wouldn’t
put recipes on the back of their bottles. Surely, I’m not the only lazy person
out there.
Cointreau’s Marketing Department did not disappoint and
neither did the COINTREAU COSMOPOLITAN. To make it, simply put the list of
stuff above into a shaker, fill it with ice, shake and strain into martini
glasses. If you have the foresight, chill the glasses for at least a half an
hour before hand for a nice touch.
You’ll find the COINTREAU COSMOPOLITAN to be a smooth, luscious
twist to the usual cosmo. The orange liquor enhances the vodka nicely. But with
two types of alcohol and not much else, this is a strong cocktail. In fact, it
warmed my tummy a bit, which is always a sign of a strong one, and I felt a
little tipsy after just one. Yep, love those back of the bottle drinks.
Drink Up^
