Cosmopolitan

Citrus vodka, Cointreau, lime, a little cranberry. Pink on purpose.

A double scales every liquid. Garnish stays one. Open Double to see the pour.

The pour

One drink. Martini · 6–8 oz. Ice: none in the glass.

  • Citrus vodka

    1½ oz

  • Cointreau

    ¾ oz

  • Lime juice

    ¾ oz

  • Cranberry juice

    ½ oz

How

  1. Shake all with ice 12 seconds. Fine-strain into a chilled martini glass.
  2. Express orange oil over the top.

Garnish

Orange peel. Express the oil, drop or discard.

Tips

  • Absolut Citron is the classic bottle. Unflavored vodka plus extra lime still works.
  • Cranberry is color and a little tart, not a juice glass.

The double

Two of every pour, wine glass. Garnish stays one peel.

Sour and stirred rule: every liquid × 2, garnish × 1, bigger glass.
