Cosmopolitan

This is a favorite little twist to the cosmo which in my eperience is easily the best way to serve this contemprary favorite.

What you need:

1. 30ml Citron Vodka
2. 30ml Contreau
3. 30ml Cranberry Juice
4. Wedge of lime
5. 2-3mls lime cordial
6. Orange peel

Directions:

Mix the spirits, juice, the juice of lime, the smallest dash of lime cordial - which is a nice little sweetener when added in extreme moderation, in to the boston shaker. Add a large amount of ice, as you want this drink well chilled, and shake until the tin is nicely frosted over. Pour in to the a well chilled martini glass. The last step is to release the orange peel zest into the glass, then rimming the glass and adding the peel in for gargnish. The orange zest, cordial, and the use of citrus vodka istead of plain vodka is the only variation that seperates this recipe apart from the original.
