Yeah, Hansen's was what I typed, but Knudsen's was what I meant. Sorry!
Is the cosmo sweet? Well, it's not non-sweet like a martini, but it's a little sweet because of the cranberry juice and the cointreau. Cointreau (say it kwon-troe) is an orange-flavored liquere. Triple sec is almost like a SYRUP compared to cointreau, and tastes icky by comparison. Cointreau is brandy-based, and mildly bitter, unlike triple sec. No HFCS in cointreau.
Good cosmo ~~~ of course everyone does 'em different, but here's mine:
- 2 shots vodka
- 1 shot cointreau
- 3/4 shot fresh lime juice
- Small splash cranberry juice, just enough to make it pink.
Another OLD standard is the Sidecar. (Gosh, now I'm dating myself.)
- 2 shots cointreau
- 1 shot fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 shot cognac
:smirk: bottoms up!
