My Cosmo recipe

Daily writing prompt
What is your favorite drink?

I’m going to interpret the word “drink” in this prompt to mean “cocktail,” because nobody wants to read about how much I like water or Diet Coke, and I’ve already posted about my love of coffee and white wine.

When it comes to mixed drinks, I’m a vodka person. During the pandemic lockdown, I perfected my Cosmopolitan (Cosmo) recipe. Here it is:

1.5 oz Absolut Citron Vodka

1 oz Cointreau

1.5 oz unsweetened cranberry juice

Fresh squeezed juice of half a lime

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. After shaking, pour into chilled martini glass with lime wedge.

It’s not crazy strong, which I like. It’s especially good in summer. I keep a martini glass and a bottle of vodka in my freezer at all times.
