"The Peach Cosmo"

The Cosmopolitan (Cosmo) will always hold a special place in my heart: it was the first drink I learned how to make when I started bartending.

Who would have known customers at a bar in Elburn, IL would love Cosmos so much. I suppose Carrie from “Sex in the City“ helped bring the cocktail widespread. It’s still a go to cocktail for me at private events today. There are several versions of the Cosmo, but the one below is the 11^th Hour Bartending special. It substitutes Peach Vodka for the traditional Vodka and uses a splash of orange juice for sweetness.     

Level of Difficulty:  Easy

Ingredients needed: peach vodka, triple sec, orange juice, cranberry juice, and a peach

Tools needed: Shaker, pourer or jigger, Martini glass

Directions:

1. Cut the Peach into thin slices for garnish
2. Fill the martini glass with ice and water to chill it
3. Add a scoop of ice into the shaker
4. Add 2 oz of peach vodka into the shaker (Peach Ciroc or New Amsterdam Peach suggested)
5. Add ¼ oz triple sec into shaker
6. Add 1/3 oz orange juice into shaker
7. Add 1 ½ oz of cranberry juice into the shaker
8. Shake the shaker for 20-30 seconds
9. Remove the ice from the martini glass
10. Strain into the martini glass and garnish with a peach
11. Enjoy!
