Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Your Ingredients

    Gather all your ingredients: vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, fresh lime juice, ice cubes, and a lime wedge for garnish.

  2. 2

    Fill the Shaker

    Take a cocktail shaker and fill it with approximately one cup of ice cubes. This will chill the cocktail as it is mixed.

  3. 3

    Measure and Add Ingredients

    Pour in 1.5 oz of vodka, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of cranberry juice, and 0.5 oz of fresh lime juice into the shaker over the ice.

  4. 4

    Shake It Up

    Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This ensures all ingredients are well mixed and chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Remove the lid and use a strainer to pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass, ensuring no ice gets into the glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Take a lime wedge and place it on the rim of the glass for garnish. This adds a nice touch and a hint of additional flavor.

  7. 7

    Enjoy

    Your Cosmopolitan cocktail is now ready to be enjoyed. Sip and savor the refreshing taste!
