Cosmopolitan

45ml (1 and 1/2 measures) vodka

30ml (1 measure) Sour Mix (4 parts lemon juice to 1/2 part of sugar syrup and 1/2 part of egg white)

30 ml (1 measure) cranberry juice

15ml (1/2 measure) cointreau

Lemon Twist for garnish

Fill cocktail glass with ice, set aside. Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Tip out ice from cocktail glass. Strain drink into glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

This is the traditional Cosmopolitan recipe. A very popular take on this cocktail has omited the sour mix for lime juice, for a slightly less tart flavour.
