The Glamorization of Alcohol Thread

[Griff]

Friday is coming. What is in the blender, glass, snifter, bottle, puddle around the tallboy...? Actually I started this cuz Jinx mentioned a cosmopolitan, which I never heard of apparently because I never saw Sex in the City.

Cosmopolitan
A modern classic that won a world wide appreciation after the tv series Sex In The City.

2 parts (lemon infused) vodka
1 part Cointreau
2-3 parts cranberry juice
(squeezed lemon or lime)

Stir or shake with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass.
Garnish with a slice of lemon.

The debate on weather to stir or shake a Cosmo is on. The stirrers claim that stirring produces a clearer drink while the shakers claim that all fruit juice martinis should be shook.

Another controversy is whether to use lemon or lime flavoured vodka in a Cosmopolitan. As weather to add or not to add squeezed lemon or lime. Some claim it will be too sour, others like it like that. Some even like their Cosmo mixed with Absolut Kurant.

However. We have tried all variations. And we like them all. Try your own blend of a Cosmo, and remember that drink mixing will never be an exact science.
