Perfect international cocktail recipe

I love this international cocktail recipe! It’s not too sweet, not too sour, and it’s really easy to make. I really think this is the best universe! One of my favorite vodka cocktails, easy to drink, elegant and delicious.

This is my favorite recipe for the cosmopolitan cocktail (or universe) and it’s delicious. Despite their strongness, my recipes make them taste great. They are not too sweet or sour!

I’ve shared all the tips to make them the best. For a glittering universe, try this world of champagne. I also love our lemon dripping martini or this Aperol Spritz!

Key Ingredients

  • vodka: When choosing vodka as the universe, choose something that goes to a high distance halfway. We usually stock Stolichnaya or “Stoli”, but please use what you know. Citrus vodka is also incredible. Low-priced vodka tastes even more powerful.
  • Cranberry juice or Cranberry Cocktail: You can use sweet cranberry juice (commonly called a “cranberry juice cocktail”) or regular cranberry juice without sugar. If you use unsweetened, you may want to add a small piece of simple syrup or agave as it may be sour. Make the white universe instead of white cranberry juice!
  • Orange liqueur: I recommend Cointreau to provide the best universe! You can use it in our cointreau recipe for three seconds, coinsreau or Grand Marnier. Cointreau is a triple SEC that has a stronger taste and more complexity. It’s also smoother, so I like to use it for the universe. Grand Marnier is also a three-second, but it combines with Cognac to make it more flavorful, nutty and caramelized.
  • Fresh lemon juice: I’m the one who uses fresh instead of bottled lemon juice. We realized it was more work, but the taste was much better.
  • Orange peel: We like to add orange peel to our martini glasses. It looks like an unnecessary decoration, but when you sip international you get an orange aroma that masks the intensity and smell of vodka.

How to be a cosmopolitan

When making international cocktails, I use cocktail suits filled with ice. Add the vodka, cranberry juice, twenty seconds (or three seconds) and fresh lime juice, close the lid, and shake until it’s very cold. Strain the drink into a refrigerated martini glass and enjoy!

When you add orange peel, peel it on the glass. This way, any oil sprayed from the orange will fall into your drink. There will be no injuries when rubbing the edges of the glass. Trust me, it makes a big difference.

Make the universe ahead

The cosmopolitan is the ideal drink for the sake of success. When I have a group of friends coming over, I love to do this! I don’t make large batches in the pitcher and then cool in the refrigerator.

Make a service 4 pitcheryou will need 1 cup (8 ounces) vodka, 1/4 cup (2 ounces) Cointreau, 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) cranberry juice and 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) lemon juice.

The perfect cosmopolitan cocktail

I love this classic international recipe! It’s easy to make one or pitchers for the crowd. Use your favorite vodka. Citrus vodka is especially delicious.

I love adding orange peel to our universe. Sure, it looks like unnecessary decor, but if you do it right, it adds a little sweetness. When you take a sip of the metropolitan cocktail, you get the essence of orange, which hides the power and smell of vodka. When you add orange peel, peel it onto the drink. In this way, any oil sprayed from the orange falls into the drink. There will be no injuries when rubbing the edges of the glass.

Make 1 drink

You will need

2 oz (1/4 cup) vodka or citrus vodka

1/2 oz (1 tablespoon) for three seconds, twenty seconds or big manil

3/4 oz (1½ tablespoons) cranberry juice cocktail, see notes

direction

    1Fill the cocktail vibrator with ice and add the vodka, three seconds, cranberry juice and lemon juice. (I love the extra lemon juice, so I use 1/2 ounce in our universe, but use something that best suits your taste.)

    2Shake the cocktail vibrator for about 30 seconds until it is refrigerated well. Then, filter it into a martini glass.

    3Decorate with orange peel/twist. Peel the orange twist onto a full cocktail glass so that the orange oil can be sprayed in the glass.
