AN ADAPTABLE COSMOPOLITAN COCKTAIL



An Adaptable Cosmopolitan Cocktail image

In case you couldn't help but wonder, this more refined Cosmopolitan is not a robust red but a dusty pink, deeply chilled, and walks the line between sweet and sour. You can even shed the notion that it must be served in a martini glass, and serve it in a coupe or smaller cocktail glass instead. Whatever your vessel, tuck it in the freezer for about 10 minutes to properly chill before pouring.

HARVEST COSMOPOLITAN COCKTAIL



Harvest Cosmopolitan Cocktail image

This recipe is sponsored by Cointreau. This bright, well-spiced adaptation of the Cosmopolitan plays with classic cider notes to create a cocktail that is refreshing enough for the late-summer heat, but nods to beloved fall tastes. The unique and balanced flavors of Cointreau elevate the mix of apple cider, cranberry juice, vodka and lemon. A cinnamon-sugar rim conjures the essence of a spiced orange-apple cider, ideal for thinking ahead to sweater weather.
