Review

This 2:1:1:1 original Cosmopolitan is on the tart side of balanced with the citrus-flavoured vodka shining over the other ingredients. Indeed, Toby describes his Cosmo as being "kind of a brutal sour, it's very very tart."

Our family tradition is 2:1:1:2, but we can also get on board with this version. : )

I like this version and am going to be a fan of (more or less ;-)) equal parts cocktails.

substituting Belvedere's Organic infusion lemon & basil (with a touch of elderflower) vodka for the citroen vodka elevates this....
