I love a Cosmopolitan (basically, a "designer" martini) made with Absolut Citron vodka, Cointreau (not triple sec), a splash of cranberry , and a lemon twist (or small wedge of lime ). Definitely a drink to sip, not gulp!!! Enjoy!:D

 

 

Decent drink though your recipe needs some lime juice. But, please don't refer to it as a "martini."

A nice variation on this is a Violetta which uses Blue Curacao instead of Cointreau. It is a lovely pale violet colour, unless they use white cranberry juice in which case it's bright blue.

 

Another variation is a Pomegranate Martini - which has Pomegranate Liqueur instead of Cointreau. It's a little more tart than a Cosmopolitan This is my favourite pre-dinner cocktail.

 

After dinner I like Benedictine, straight up.
