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.
