cocktail of the week: cosmopolitan

Monday, June 05, 2006


ingredients: 1 oz vodka, 1 oz orange liqueur, 1 dash lime juice, 1 dash cranberry juice


directions: pour into all ingredients into a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. shake well. strain into a martini glass, garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and serve.




they serve really good ones at the old spaghetti factory in duarte. i asked my husband what drink i should try that evening and he recommended it. then he watched the bartender mix it and tried it before i did hehehe. it was a bit too strong for me, but i'm not really a wine drinker (come to think of it I'm not a drinker period!).


halfway thru the serving it smelled and tasted like ethanol, my husband said it was because it was prepared using a shaker. i'll take his word for it:)
