Spring Cosmo Recipe

Chill glass

Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for at least 5 minutes or fill it with ice water while you build the cocktail to chill.

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Prairie Vodka, 0.75 oz strawberry-rhubarb cordial, 0.5 oz Combier Peach Liqueur, and 0.5 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice. If your cordial is very tart, add 0.25 oz simple syrup.

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted. This both dilutes and properly chills the drink.

Prepare glass

Remove the coupe or martini glass from the freezer or discard ice water and dry the glass.

Double strain and serve

Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any pulp. This yields a silky, clear presentation.

Garnish

Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils, run the twist around the rim, and drop it into the glass. Alternatively, garnish with a small sliced strawberry on the rim for a spring look.

Serve immediately. The Spring Cosmo is best enjoyed cold and freshly made.
