Yes, they slurped cosmos by the gallon on Sex & the City, launching this pretty-in-pink drink into the super-trend stratosphere. But those ladies had the right idea: this delicious cocktail lives up to the hype.
You Will Need
- 2 oz. vodka
- 1 oz. orange liqueur
- A cutting board
- A splash of cranberry juice
- Some ice
- A lime
- A small knife
- A martini glass
- And a cocktail shaker
Step 1: Chill glass
Chill the martini glass by filling it with ice and water, and set it aside.
Step 2: Fill with ice
Fill the cocktail shaker with ice.
Step 3: Slice lime
Slice the lime in half, and then into quarters. Squeeze two quarters over the cocktail shaker and set the other two aside.
Step 4: Add vodka, liqueur & juice
Add the vodka, liqueur, and cranberry juice.
Use citrus-flavored vodka for added zing.
Step 5: Shake
Vigorously shake the ingredients 15 to 20 times.
Stop shaking when the shaker feels ice cold. Over-mixing will dilute the liquor with too much water.
Step 6: Empty glass
Empty the now-chilled martini glass.
Step 7: Strain into glass
Strain the contents of the mixing glass into the martini glass.
Step 8: Garnish & serve
Cut a wedge from a remaining lime quarter, garnish, and serve.
Mr. Big—Carrie Bradshaw’s love interest on Sex & the City—was based on a real-life magazine publisher. At various times he was at the helm of Vanity Fair, GQ, and Vogue—but never Cosmopolitan.
