Having a Friday night cocktail to mark the end of the week has long been something I’ve enjoyed, there’s nothing quite like it. A Cosmo is a classic cocktail, and with both lime juice & cranberry juice it surely counts as one of my five-a-day right? RIGHT?

Ingredients (enough for 2)
120ml vodka
120ml cranberry juice
60ml freshly squeezed lime juice
60ml Cointreau
A splash of gomme / sugar syrup if it takes your fancy
Method
- Tip all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker half filled with ice.
- Pop the lid on, wrap a tea-towel around the shaker so your hands don’t stick to it like Jeff Daniel’s tongue in Dumb & Dumber.
- Shake for a good 30 seconds. Or more. Just go for it.
- Strain into cocktail glasses.
- Aaaaaaand relax.
