Wow, I need to try these!
I tried your recipes and my favorite one was the Cosmopolitan Martini... How did I ever live without it? It is delicious!
Princessa, Thanks for the compliment. That sounds like a fun night. ;-)
Nice hub. Good info on cosmos. I think I'll try the cosmos martini, since it has Cointreau in it. I also love margueritas! And serve them to get the gang moving. I must be the last one to try a Cosmos-although they always looked good in Sex and the City. Thanks for the recipe!

Tried these for the first time on my 70th birthday at the Hyde Park Steakhouse in Sarasota, FL. I've just wasted YEARS!!! What a fantastic drink!!! They have a citris foam on top that so compliments the drink. Watched the girls drink them on Sex and the City. What was I waiting for?
Ohhhh..... this cosmo recipe is going to make my wife soooo happy!!
I absolutely love Rasberry and Cherry Cosmopolitans. I wish I could drink more than one.. I'm such a lightweight!

Try it with Grape flavored Vodka. Its a hit at every party!
Best way to make them is going very light on the cranberry juice. A good ratio is 1/3 oz. cran., 1/3 oz. cointreau, 1 oz. vodka, juice from 1/2 lime. Tart and yummy and not so sweet. (I bet somebody has done it before but blueberry cran juice would probably be good too.) Cheers!
