Just keep it streamlined with recipes you can make ahead (like the menu I shared in my Feb 5 Things post) or are super simple. This past year, though, no date nights out! It’s been tough, but we’ll be vaccinated soon and I can’t wait get out again.īut that doesn’t mean you can’t have date night at home this year. We do usually have Valentine’s at home every year and save date night out for another, less busy day.
This year Valentine’s is going to a quiet evening for a lot of people. You’ll love the tangy/floral flavor and the pretty pink color. I love to bake and cook and share my kitchen experience with all of you! Remembering to come back each day can be tough, that’s why I offer a convenient newsletter every time a new recipe posts.For a fun twist on the classic, try my Meyer lemon cosmo! This drink has it all – easy, fast, pitcher or cocktail instructions, and delicious. Originally made with raspberry and lemon juices, the cosmopolitan was made over by Ocean Spray ad exec’s in a 1960s ad campaign where it was renamed “the Harpoon.” While the new name didn’t stick, the swap of cranberry juice and lime juice did – but the drink didn’t hit its real heydey until Madonna crashed onto the NYC dance scene, and then it had another resurgence with those Sex and the City girls. While the cosmopolitan cocktail is often seen as a new invention, this drink has been around for nearly 100 years – although, she’s seen some changes along the way. The perfect cocktail for those who like their drinks tart rather than sweet, the cosmopolitan is almost like a vodka-based margarita in its composition. If you have plain vodka on hand and don’t want to hit the store, you can certainly use it, but grab some citron on your next store trip. We don’t recommend using plain vodka simply because citron (citrus flavored) is not only the classic ingredient for a cosmopolitan, but because it tastes better.
#COSMO DRINK SKIN#
Use scissors to trim off an even, narrow strip and then twist that strip of lime skin around a chopstick. To make this pretty lime twist, use a vegetable peeler to make one long peel of a lime zest.You can Jump to Recipe to get the printable version of this recipe, complete with measurements and instructions at the bottom.
#COSMO DRINK HOW TO#
These step by step photos and instructions are here to help you visualize how to make this recipe. Bottled lime juice just doesn’t taste as good and it will affect your final drink’s flavor. LIME JUICE – Only use fresh squeezed lime juice when making a cosmopolitan cocktail. For a cosmo, Cointreau is actually the best due to its smooth flavor, but any Triple Sec will work. ORANGE LIQUEUR – There are several types of Triple Sec orange liqueur. In a pinch you can use plain vodka, but the drink won’t be classic nor quite as good. The flavor profile is different than plain vodka and the best choice for this cocktail. VODKA – Use citron vodka when making a cosmo. Get all measurements, ingredients, and instructions in the printable version at the end of this post. But it’s worth a try, you just never know! You may find that a cosmo is your new favorite drink. If you prefer sweet cocktails, like rum punch, then the cosmopolitan drink may not be for you. While its pink appearance looks sweet, it packs a tart punch.
Nothing quite says lady’s night on the town like this classic cosmo. Served in a martini glass with a lime wedge or twist, it’s a sweet and sour alcohol heavy beverage perfect for parties. The cosmopolitan cocktail is a classic pink drink comprised of citron vodka, cranberry juice, Cointreau, and fresh squeezed lime juice.
