How to Make a Cosmopolitan | Cocktail Recipes

Recipe: 1.5 oz Citrus Vodka; .75 oz Cointreau; .75 oz lime juice; .75 oz cranberry juice; .25 oz simple syrup. Shake and strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.


The Cosmopolitan is the only classic cocktail that was invented in the last 20 years, but it has suffered a little bit of a negative connotation lately, and I think that's due to a certain HBO show about four women going to brunch. But I'm going to go out on limb and defend the Cosmopolitan, because I think it is a great cocktail, and I have to give it serious props because without the Cosmopolitan getting so popular, who knows if cocktail culture would have reemerged the way it has in the first place. So we have to pay our respects to the Cosmopolitan. And the good news is when it's made properly with fresh ingredients it's actually a really delicious cocktail.

So we're going to start with two ounces of lemon vodka or citrus vodka, and a little orange liquer, Quantro is a great option for that, three-quarters of an ounce. You'll see a lot of versions of this recipe. This is the one I like to do, I'm kind of do a mixture of all of them. I also like to add a little bit of simple syrup, because I think that Quantro comes on a little too strong, so just a quarter ounce of simple syrup, and about three-quarters of an ounce of fresh-squeezed lime juice. This is another one of those drinks is that if you get the mix or anything like that it's all downhill from there.

It's got to be fresh ingredients if it's going to taste good, and you want your drinks to taste good, right? I mean why else are you making them? And the key ingredient, of course, is the cranberry juice to give it that nice trademark pink color, three-quarters of an ounce of cranberry juice. Notice this is the real cranberry juice, not the processed kind that you usually see. This is a shaken drink, since we've got some citrus in there, a little more ice. Okay, now we've got our ice in there, and I'm going to grab the frozen coupe glass in the freezer. Okay, time to shake. Oh yeah, it's definitely pink. I mean that is a Cosmopolitan right there. I'm going to garnish it with a lime wheel, a nice, thin slice of lime to top it off. Cheers, girls. That's how you make a classic Cosmopolitan.

This guy has the most infectious enthusiasm.

[THarosT]

Not sure if he shakes the coctail, dancing or flirts with the camera...still awesome 😉

[PuertoRicanRattlesnake]

Man, he gets REAL into it when he shacks

[cooperjk]

This is a great recipe.
I will often make a double or triple batch and just leave it in the freezer no ice in the shaker, for half an hour to 45 minutes until my wife’s ready to drink them. Shake it up with some ice and serve it!

[millionairejh]

i wish i knew this guy as a friend, his place would be the place to be on weekends lol

[Giftedgurl]

I love this drink it’s definitely my favorite cocktail. SATC is my favorite show of all time.

[Coldteanoice]

lol @ that coy upwards glance past the camera mid-shake.
somehow, being reminded of my absentee spectatorship makes it feel, ironically, more personal. +10 style points to this gentleman

[michaelandersen]

I tried that shake jiggle and smile with a girl I was trying to impress lol. She just stared at me awkwardly and then busted out laughing. All I'm going to say is that it worked out:)

[randykenderguillenroca]

well done, I like to add 1.5 oz of vodka plus 1oz of orange liquor and only half oz. of lime juice and same for cranberry juice

[alexbriner]

"Oh yeah, it's definitely pink."

[dcieslinski]

Without that certain show and these women going to brunch we wouldnt even discuss cosmopolitan!!

[insaneonethe]

so many cocktail experts in comment section, so strange these people are not on this show instead of him...

[billysinge]

“Well it’s cranberry juice, green apple.”

[SoydeCubaCompay]

many Cosmopolitan cocktails and my question is. Which one is the original?

[Tentoesboutit]

Sex and the city put cosmos on the map FYI. But cool vids

[danthemansg]

Seems like you still had quite a bit left in the shaker. Might want to lower the portions a bit.

[Yammie_Moto]

What is the point of citrus vodka when you are already adding Lime Juice and Orange Liquer?

I use Strawberry or Apple Vodka instead. Trust me, the ladies love it.

Taste like Jolly Rancher. And its pretty strong for a girl's drink.

[gabrielaka]

Can you also make it with regular vodka?

[kingofnothing]

this looks like it would be great with egg white added in.

[the_real_phresh]

i always wanted to try one i always watch this video
