Now that “Margarita Season” is just about over and “Eggnog Season” is around the corner, I thought I’d provide you with a nice transitional drink recipe, The Cosmopolitan. The recipe below makes a huge batch, that way it’ll be ready to pour when I stop by this Fall. *Don’t worry, I’m not an asshole, I’ll call ahead so you’ll have plenty of time to clean your guest toilet and put your bra back on.
Side Note: You’ll notice that any craft or recipe I share with you involves the term “eyeball it”. I’m a big fan of using ratios instead of actually measuring, it just makes life easier and a bit half-assed. My preferred method for making cosmos is to use a 12 oz. cranberry juice bottle- even I can’t screw this up.
By the way, this just so happens to be my mother-in-law’s recipe. I bet you wish you had a mother-in-law like mine!
MIL’s Cosmopolitan
Ingredients:
vodka
cranberry juice (use the 12oz. bottles)
triple sec
1 lime or Rose’s lime juice
funnel
an empty Grey Goose bottle (from a wealthy friend)
Recipe:
1. Stick the funnel in the Grey Goose bottle and pour the whole 12 oz cranberry juice down its neck.
2. Next, fill the empty cranberry bottle completely with vodka and pour IT down the goose’s neck.
You didn’t think we could actually afford Grey Goose Vodka did you? hahahahaha
3. Then fill the cranberry bottle half-way (eyeball it) with triple sec and pour it into the Grey Goose Bottle. (I was going to use the same picture as above because the liquids are the same color but I didn’t want to insult your intelligence.)
4. Finally, You can either fill the cranberry bottle 1/4 full with Rose’s lime juice (eyeball it) or squeeze in a 1/2 of a lime. NOW HERE’S THE EXCITING TIP!!!!! If you decide to squeeze 1/2 a lime and you don’t have a juicer, microwave the lime for 30 seconds, cut it in half, then squeeze into the funnel! It softens up the lime so that you can squeeze everything out of it! Exciting right?!
psst…did you see the tip within a tip? That’s a yoga mat under our microwave to keep it from slipping.
5. Shake it and throw the bottle in the back of the freezer until you’re ready to drink it, or until I show up. And um…here’s a another tip, make sure to catch all of the lime guts. I didn’t and this is what my drink looked like after being frozen:
What’s that look like to you? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Like my tips? Could you show me a little clicky love and smack the banner? Thanks!
