Cosmopolitan
There are a number of claims made regarding the origin of the Cosmopolitan— from San Francisco and across the country, all the way to New York City. Gaining notoriety from the popular show Sex and the City, many think it’s the latter of the two. This drink is smooth, tart, and well balanced with the orange liqueur, keeping the sweetness subtle.
Recipe:
1 ½ oz Icy Strait Vodka
½ oz Orange Liqueur
½ oz Cranberry Juice
½ oz Simple Syrup
½ oz Lime Juice
Add all ingredients to a mixing tin. Shake and strain into your glass. Garnish with an orange, lime, or lemon twist. This drink is also great over ice, with a splash of soda water.
