Cosmopolitan help with Measurements?!
I hope you don't think I'm stupid here!. I'm not much of a drinker and want to make a cosmopolitan!. I have the recipe which calls for 1 oz vodka, 1/2 ounce cointreau, splash of cranberry!.
My jiggler (or whatever that thing is called) is 3/4 ounce and 1!.5 ounce measurements!.
Please tell me how I can make the drink with these measurements!. I want to make sure it tastes right!.
ThanksWww@FoodAQ@Com

There are 2 tablespoons in an ounce, so to get the measurements for the recipe you have, you need 2 tablespoons of vodka and 1 tablespoon of Cointreau!. Add as much cranberry as you like to taste!. A true cosmo has just enough to give it a hint of pink color, but not much flavor!. If that's just way to much alcohol for you, add some more cranberry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
In a 10oz shaker!.!.!.Fill it w/ Ice & then fill it about 5/8's w/ Premium Citrus Vodka(Goose or Kettle), 1/4 Cointreau, Dash of Cranberry Juice & Squeeze 3 Lime Wedges in(but just the juice, don't put the rind in)!. Shake until you feel like it will freeze to your hand & put in a chilled glass!. To garnish, either a twist or lime wedge but neither are necessary if it's for yourself!. This is my favorite recipe for them to drink myself & when I make them for others, people always rave!. (Don't worry about the jigger, you are not in Chemistry Class!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com
well since your recipe calls for half as much cointreau than vodka, just go ahead and put 3/4 ounce of cointreau and 1!.5 ounces of vodka and add a little extra splash of cranberry so it won't be too strong!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
