Commander’s Palace Shrimp & Tasso Henican
The Cosmopolitan became insanely popular during the six year reign of the widely recognized television series, Sex and the City. It was Carrie Bradshaw's "go to" when drinking with the other girls at the Empire Hotel.
But the drink clearly predates the television series. A drink with almost identical ingredients, with the exception of substitution of gin for the vodka, was described in a bartender's recipe book dating back to 1936.
Whatever the origin, the popularity of the drink remains high despite the fact that even re-runs of Sex and the City are hard to find. It is especially popular among the ladies, due to it's pink hue.
We recommend adding a dash of orange bitters although this step is frequently omitted in most recipes.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka med to high quality
- 1/2 ounce triple sec Cointreu or other high quality brand
- 3/4 ounce cranberry juice
- 1/4 ounce lime juice fresh, squeezed
- 1 orange twist
- 1 dash orange bitters optional
Instructions
- Chill the stemmed cocktail glass.
- To a shaker add the liquid ingredients and cubes of ice.
- Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds.
- Strain the drink into the chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with the orange peel (squeeze the peel over the drink before garnishing to add the aroma and oils from the peel to frothy top of the drink).
- Add a light dash of orange bitters to froth on top of the cocktail (optional) and serve immediately.
