This can be a great fun cocktail to make if you flambé an orange peel over the top. Cut an inch wide, 2 inch long strip of orange peel. Hold the orange peel in your thumb and forefinger and hold lighter in front (just touching) for about 3 seconds, then squeeze the peel hard, releasing all the oils which light and set fire. Then wipe around rim of glass and drop in, skin side up. Brilliant garnish!

by Steph mc evoy

Actually rather bland in all honesty and only popular due to its pink colour and fame from Sex and the city. Vodka drinkers will probably find drinks like a brown hen or russian seven far tastier if not as physically attractive or fashionable.

Delicious, perfect combination.

by Char

We liked it but it was really strong so added a couple of parts of tonic water and another part of cranberry - it went down a treat!
by Fiona

too much cranberry original recipe was pink but too often cosmos are served red now. Also must be served w/ lemon vodka. Interesting variant is the Metropolitan w/ kurrant vodka. Flaming orange to finish.
by kris

this is the best drink ever !!! especially if you go to the LOUNGE in LARGS they make a killer cosmo .

Finish it off by cutting a circle of orange peel, bending it so it is concave and using a lighter to heat it up, after about 10 sec it will spit if u then point it at the glass and squeeze the oils in the orange peel will ignite in a big fireball and coat the surface of the drink giving a nice zesty taste, oh and dnt remove the lighter when u squeeze
by Ben

Try make it with 1 1/2 parts cointreau, and 1 part vodka (instead of vice versa), add a few drops of sweet n sour mix, its beautiful
by Tom Caton

For a single serve in a martini glass you can assume 1 part = either 25ml or 35ml depending on the size of your glassware and on how generous you want to be!
by RacingGreen

Re. first comment. . a part is whatever you want it to be, that's the point. It depends on how many drinks you want to make. As long as the ratios remain the same then it doesn't matter what the measurement is. Just use one and a half times as much vodka as you do cranberry and cointreau. Not too difficult.

Think sophistication, think Cosmo; it's that simple.

by hayley

Very sharp, extremely tasty drink (when made correctly - which unfortunately doesnt seem to be that often!) *****
by Michael Craig

A new age "chic" classic. a versatile drink, gorgeous if made correctly. alot of argument over the perfect garnish. flamed orange peel makes all the difference.
by Chris Kitson (mixologist)

What Would we do without 'Sex and the city' *** Best Cocktail Ever. . . . . .
by Polly

I love this drink, its got a sharp edge but a very smooth and fruity taste. I have about four or five in a night out and it tastes just as good as it looks. This is a real elegance drink strictly for the ladies who know they have style and wish to ooze sophistication and glamour!
by Joanna

The Indigo Bar in Chinatown, Honolulu, presents the mandarin cosmo (using Absolut Mandarin) for the vodka part. Ask barman George for it - its not on the menu.
by Drew Lynch

I made this with white cranberry juice. It was preferred by most as it was not overy sweet.

LOOP IN CROYDON ASK 4 KIERON HIS COSMOS ARE JUST HEAVEN HE SHOWED ME HIS BLACK COSMO WHAT A MIND BLOWER
by LUCY

To Epsimax: Look in frozen section of grocer. It is hard to find, but some stores do have the pure jucie and not the 'coctail' version. You can also look in the natural foods section and find unsweetened pure cranberry juice.
by mellan
