CHRISTMAS COSMOPOLITAN BY THE PITCHER
I can't recommend this Cosmopolitan enough, not only for it's crisp taste, but it's so beautiful. Double and serve in a punch bowl for the holiday season with an ice ring embedded with cranberries. Thanks to my sister-in-law turning me onto this beautiful drink from Victoria Classics Holiday Bliss. (Note: The original recipe calls for gin but can sub vodka.)

DRINK ESSENTIALS: CHRISTMAS COSMOPOLITAN
I call this a cosmopolitan because it does have the elements of that classic drink. However, it is just a great holiday drink, so call it what you wish. Served them last night, while watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas... the original. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- Place 2 martini glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes or longer. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 3 ½ ounces lemon-scented vodka, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 ounces Cointreau and 1 tablespoon fresh cranberry juice; cover. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Strain evenly into the chilled glasses. Top with lime zest.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Limes: Freshly squeezed lime juice brings out the best flavor in a cosmopolitan. Bottled or store-bought lime juice can be sour and lack the vibrant citrus notes of fresh limes.
- Chill Your Glassware: Chilling your coupe or martini glasses before serving helps keep your cosmopolitan cold and refreshing. You can chill your glasses in the freezer or by filling them with ice and water for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with a Lime Twist: A lime twist adds a pop of color and a burst of citrus flavor to your cosmopolitan. To make a lime twist, simply cut a thin strip of lime peel, twist it, and place it on the rim of the glass.
- Experiment with Different Flavors: The classic cosmopolitan is made with vodka, Cointreau, lime juice, and cranberry juice, but you can easily customize your drink by adding different flavors. Try using flavored vodkas, such as raspberry, lemon, or vanilla, or adding a splash of grenadine or orange juice.
Conclusion:
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a night out with friends, a cosmopolitan is the perfect drink to add a touch of glamour to your evening. With its vibrant color, refreshing taste, and endless variations, the cosmopolitan is a classic cocktail that will never go out of style. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive drink, reach for a cosmopolitan and enjoy the good times!
