Cosmopolitan Cocktail

I have found some ready-to-use cocktails mixes in my local supermarket as a special offer. And I decided to buy one of each cocktail mixes, so I can compare it against a home-made version of a similar cocktail. Each ready-to-use cocktail costed 10 DKK/mix, which is giving one cocktail each.

I decided to start of with Cosmopolitan, as I had some cranberry juice available in my refrigerator.

The ready-to-use cocktail for a Cosmopolitan needed addition of vodka. And it had a more red colour compared to my home-made version of Cosmopolitan. The taste profile of the ready-to-use Cosmopolitan drink was actually quiet good, not being chemical or synthetic at all.

I mixed my home-made version of Cosmopolitan based on this recipe:

Cosmopolitan: - 1 cocktail

• 4 cl vodka
• 2 cl Cointreau
• 5 cl cranberry juice
• 1 cl Rose´s lime juice
• Ice cubes

1. Pour all the ingredients into a shaker containing ice cubes. Shake well.
2. Pour the cocktail into a cocktail glass and add in some ice cubes
3. Cheers
