Whew! That last post was long-winded, so I promise to keep this short. I am off to my weekly yoga class, so just have time to share Brenda's Cosmo Recipe with you. As a bit of a side note to those that are not martini drinkers, neither were we until after a great ski day at A-Basin last season. Brenda, always a gracious hostess, invited us to stop off at her house on the way down the hill for a drink. We were hooked! We happened to have a martini shaker that I had won in a white elephant at work years ago, but you can just mix them in a glass and pour over another glass of ice to chill a few minutes. Best served "straight up," (no ice.)
BRENDA'S COSMOPOLITAN
2 parts (shot glass) vodka (best kept chilled in freezer)
1 part triple sec
1 part cranberry juice
Shake or stir in a tall glass or martini shaker. Then pour over a tall glass of ice to chill for two or three minutes. Then strain into two martini glasses and add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to each. You can wet the rim of the glass with lime juice and dip in sugar before pouring if you like. Add a twist of lime peel or a fresh strawberry if you'd like for garnish. Serves 2. ENJOY!
So, there you have it. Give it a try for Valentine's if you're looking for something a little different than champagne and strawberries.
Keep checking back as I will have Eddie help me post some Africa pictures soon. Stay warm!
