Getting ready for the weekend!  Oh, Yeah!  Rather than putting a review up on some cookware or a recipe, let’s get down to the important stuff.  Cocktails!  Many of us enjoy a good cocktail during the Holiday Season.  Here is a great recipe for the classic Cosmopolitan.  This festive cranberry based drink is a perfect companion to holiday parties and guests.  It’s simple and delicious.

4-3-2-1 Cosmo

In a large vessel (like a pitcher or an Italian drink dispenser with a spigot), pour four parts of Cranberry Juice Cocktail, three parts of vodka, 2 parts of Triple Sec, and one part of fresh lime juice.  Mix with ice to chill thoroughly.  Serve in a Champaign coupé or martini glass.

Modifications –

This is the great thing about this drink.  You can change it up a lot and still have good results.  Just remember the 4-3-2-1 formula.  4 parts juice. 3parts booze. 2 parts liquor (probably orange in almost all cases) and one part fresh citrus juice.  Here’s the one I am using this year.

4 parts of Cranberry-Pomegranate Juice Cocktail. 3 Parts of Tito’s Cold Pressed Texas Vodka, 2 parts Orange Curacao, I part mix of ½ fresh squeezed lemon juice and ½ fresh squeezed lime juice.  Make it frosty!!

Enjoy! Pura Vida!
