Cosmopolitan

Since Santa failed to bring one to me, I recently treated myself to an authentic cocktail shaker.  Shamefully, I admit I had been using a repurposed mayo jar to shake my libations.  I did not realize what I was missing.  Forgive me.  Little did I know, this amazing cocktail shaker is capable of lowering the temperature of my cocktail to a perfect, tasty icy cold.

So far, I haven’t strayed from the Cosmopolitan.  It’s nearly Valentine’s Day.  I keep admiring the color of this cocktail and thinking how appropriate it would to start off a Valentine’s Day dinner with one of these.

There are many versions of this cocktail.  I’m sharing my favorite with you here.  Do you have a favorite? I’d love to hear from you in the comments section!

ENJOY!
