We love having the girls over to catch up, gossip (yes, we all do it!) and enjoy a few cocktails. The Cosmopolitan cocktail is the kind of drink you can serve after a long week when you need to unwind with your tribe and feel that joie de vivre that comes from spending time with your favorite people.
What’s in a Cosmopolitan cocktail?
When you’re out on the town, the Cosmo is undoubtedly one of the top cocktails to order at the bar. Although the Cosmopolitan cocktail is one of the more popular cocktails from the 60s, it’s just as popular today, and you can easily bring it to life in the comfort of your home.
For the best Cosmopolitan recipe, you will need citrus-infused vodka, orange liqueur, lime and cranberry juice, and an orange peel to garnish. These ingredients blend well together, creating a refreshing drink that has a little citrusy sweetness balanced by the lovely sharpness of the lime.
How to make the perfect Cosmopolitan cocktail
Before you invite your friends, make sure you have all the Cosmopolitan cocktail ingredients on hand to pull it off and for the ultimate aesthetic serve, choose a coupe or martini glass.
Oh, and top tip for the best Cosmopolitan recipe? When you use the orange or lime peel to garnish, peel it straight over the drink so that the oils spray out and land in the drink. Once you’ve done that, rub the peel along the edges of the coupe glass before popping it into the liquid. It gives the Cosmo that extra burst of zesty flavor.
