Island Cosmo
5 shots out of 5
I have been wanting to do a Cosmo........but just haven't found a good recipe for one.
We had tried one a while back and didn't like it, so I vowed that when I do this blog, I will not post a cosmo until I find a good recipe for it.
That's where tonight's cocktail comes in.
Now I know this isn't the original cosmo, but hey......I wouldn't be The Cocktail Lady if I couldn't mix it up a bit (pun definitely intended).
I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.
I really like this cocktail.
I told my husband that the Island Cosmo is very yummy and very dangerous.
I got this recipe from the Malibu website.
The rum and citrus vodka together make a very yummy taste, and I like the fact that they use pomegranate juice instead of cranberry juice.
I think "someone" should definitely bring a bottle of the Smirnoff citrus vodka to the BBQ on Saturday......hint hint.........wink wink........I really think that would be a good idea!
This cocktail will most definitely be on my list of cocktails to make and enjoy one night real soon!!

In a shaker, add ice, rum, vodka, lime juice and pomegranate juice. Shake everything up real well and strain into a martini glass. Sit back and enjoy this extra yummy cocktail!
Thank You Malibu for this fabulous cocktail recipe! I am enjoying this cocktail and know that I will enjoy another one very soon!

You're right that this is a dangerous one - it was good enough that I had a second and if I didn't have a smidgen of self control, I'd make another :) I ran out of citron vodka, so I squeezed a little lemon juice in with my regular vodka - it was still VERY good. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteYeay!! I'm glad you liked this one! I have a HUGE feeling that it's going to be a hit among a lot of my friends too! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteLooks good will try it at next party. If you're looking for a Cosmopolitan, the recipe is:
ReplyDelete2 parts Cranberry Juice
2 parts Vodka
1 part Lime Juice
1/2 part Triple-Sec
Shake and strain into Martini glass.
Btw most of these "martini" drinks nowadays are nothing more than the Kamikaze plus juice .
Thank You for the recipe!! I will write it down and try it! I found "too many" different versions of the Cosmopolitan and tried a couple of them and did NOT like them......either did the friends we had over (so I know it wasn't just me).
DeleteLet me know what you think of the Island Cosmo when you do try it!
