Berry Cosmo Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Chill glass

   Place a martini/coupe glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you build the cocktail so the finished drink is served cold and crisp.

2. 2

   Build and shake

   Into a cocktail shaker add 2 oz New Amsterdam Red Berry Vodka, 2 oz chilled cranberry juice, 0.5 oz triple sec, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice until about two-thirds full.

3. 3

   Shake vigorously

   Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.

4. 4

   Prepare glass

   If you used ice water to chill the glass, discard the ice/water and quickly dry the glass.

5. 5

   Double-strain and serve

   Double-strain the cocktail through a fine-mesh strainer into the chilled martini/coupe glass to remove ice shards for a smooth finish.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Float a lime wheel or place a lime twist on the rim of the glass. Optionally express the lime peel over the drink to add aromatic oils.

7. 7

   Serve immediately while cold.
