Sapphire Cosmopolitan


Forget making cosmopolitans with vodka - that stuff tastes like swill, anyway! Here's an upscale recipe for the traditional cosmopolitan using fine Bombay Sapphire gin. Just a word of warning - these are extremely potent and will quickly knock you on your ass if you're not careful! 

Sapphire Cosmopolitan

3 parts Bombay Sapphire gin
2 parts premium orange liqueur (Cointreau or Grand Marnier)
2 parts 100% cranberry juice
1 part freshly squeezed lime juice (do NOT sub with the bottled stuff)

Pour the ingredients into a shaker filled with ice. Shake thoroughly and strain into a chilled martini cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange or lemon peel before serving.

Makes 1
