A proper Cosmo is quite a strong cocktail, yes.

When I make mine though, unless I really want a very big kick after a hard day, I usually make them a bit less strong. I like:

1 measure citrus vodka
1/2 measure triple sec
1 lime, cut into quarters
2 measures, maybe 3 if I want it even weaker, cranberry juice
- shake with ice.

Hi Conor -

You can make a Cosmopolitan in a number of ways. It is all about personal preference when it comes to cocktails. I shall give you what i find to be the best recipe for this cocktail:

The Original Cosmopolitan

2 PARTS Beefeater Gin

1/2 PART Triple sec

1/2 PART Freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 PART Raspberry-infused sugar syrup

METHOD Shake all ingredients vigorously with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass.
