What You Need

Follow These Six Easy Steps

How To: Make A Cosmopolitan Step 1

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway full with ice

To make one drink, fill your cocktail shaker about halfway with ice cubes.

How To: Make A Cosmopolitan Step 2

Add two ounces of vodka

Pour two ounces, which is approximately two shot glasses or a little less than 1/4 cup, of your favorite vodka.

How To: Make A Cosmopolitan Step 3

Add one ounce of cranberry juice

Pour one ounce of cranberry juice (or two tablespoons) into shaker.

Tip: Add grapefruit juice instead of cranberry juice for a signature twist.

How To: Make A Cosmopolitan Step 4

Add half an ounce of orange-flavored liquer

Pour half an ounce (or one tablespoon) of triple sec or any other orange-flavored liqueur to give it a citrus kick.

How To: Make A Cosmopolitan Step 5

Add half an ounce of fresh lime juice

Juice half a lime (for about half and ounce of juice) right into the cocktail shaker.

How To: Make A Cosmopolitan Step 6

Cover and shake

Cover and shake well. This mixes the ingredients, chills the drink, and slightly dilutes alcohol with ice. Strain, serve in a Martini glass, and garnish with a lime slice.
