The weekend before last, while in New York and Hoboken we celebrated Nicole's birthday and housewarming all at once while giving it a Christmas theme. We attempted (or shall I say, I attempted) rather unsuccessfully to throw together a Christmasy cocktail that was roughly based on a cosmo/cranberry vodka. I decided to work with this challenge and actually perfect the drink...for next time ;) Its really simple, I stuck with a basic cosmo recipe and added pomegranate to give it a seasonal flavor.
You'll need :
[1] Regular vodka
[2] Triple Sec
[3] Cranberry Juice or Cranberry Pomegranate juice
[4] Whole lime
[5] Fresh pomegranates
To make one drink :
[1] 1 part vodka
[2] 1 part Triple Sec
[3] 2 parts Cranberry
[4] Lime juice - half a lime squeezed
[5] Combine over ice in shaker and shake vigorously
[6] Pour over fresh pomegranates
[7] Garnish with lime wedges
Happy cocktail-ing and holiday partying :)
Great idea on the pomegranate! I'll bet it lifts the flavour amazingly.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nate! It totally does, I also really like floating them in champagne for a fun flavor twist.
