Method

  • step 1

    Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

  • step 2

    To make the garnish: hold a 3cm round piece of orange zest about 10cm above your cosmo and very carefully wave it over a lit match or lighter flame. Bend the outer edge of the zest in towards the flame so that the orange oils are released, then drop the zest into your drink.

RECIPE TIPS

TWISTS ON THE COSMO

1. Champagne cosmo:

Add a splash of champagne to the finished cocktail, then stir gently and serve.

2. Blue cosmo:

Substitute blue curaçao for triple sec and Ocean Spray white cranberry juice for the usual red. Some blue curaçaos are quite sweet, so you may want to up the lime a little.

3. Tequila cosmo:

Replace the vodka in your usual cosmo with a good quality, 100% blue agave tequila like Ocho or Olmeca Altos.

Pfft. Nothing like a Cosmo. I work in a bar and it's: 50ml good quality vodka 25ml Cointreau (triple sec if you're desperate) 1/2 freshly squeezed lime 50ml cranberry juice

Shake with ice and straight. Garnish with slice of lime or a twist of orange peel (use a potato peeler and shape).

I wish I’d read the comments before making this cocktail…. I concur with the others, it’s far too strong. Undrinkable unfortunately.

Way way too strong.

I couldn’t find my faithful cocktail book so I googled cosmo recipe & came across this one, all I can say is yuck it was sooo strong & didn’t taste like a Cosmo so I searched high & low for my trusty book & thank god I found it!

Try this you won’t regret it!

25ml Vodka 25ml…
