Definitely doesn’t need the sugar rim, although I haven’t tried it…
Perfectly balanced. I used a Camus VSOP and it was so good I had to have another

Grand Cosmopolitan

I used 12ml of fresh lime juice and 3ml of freshly squeezed orange juice.
I also used unsweetened cranberry juice and added 5ml of sugar syrup. I didn’t have Grand Marnier so used Cointreau and then added 12.5ml of cognac. Wondering whether I ended up with a whole new cocktail but it got great reviews ?

This came up on my random selector and my ingredients were slightly lacking…
I used pomegranate instead of cranberry and stem ginger syrup instead of falernum.
I added the sprig of rosemary to the shake with a half twist of orange.
A bit off-piste but went down very nicely!

Excellent on a grim December evening. Classic for a reason. One large orange and one lime conveniently delivered just the right amount of juice for two of these ?

Yes probably a great desert cocktail but this was pretty good before dinner too ?
I added a strip of orange zest and floated the cream across only half of the glass to bring that calorie count down to about 346. Expecting a call from weight watchers very soon…
