Berry Cosmo Recipe

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. 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. 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. Prepare glass

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

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. 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. Serve immediately while cold.
