Method
How to make Cosmopolitan
Follow the 5 reviewed catalog steps in order.
- 01
Chill a coupe glass with ice or place it in the freezer while you measure the ingredients.
- 02
Fill a shaker two-thirds full with fresh ice; this gives the drink enough dilution without making it watery.
- 03
Add the vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice to the shaker.
- 04
Seal and shake hard for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels very cold and frosted.
- 05
Discard the ice from the coupe, double-strain the drink into the chilled glass, and garnish with a lime wheel or twist.
