<html>Yeah, Hansen's was what I typed, but Knudsen's was what I meant. Sorry! We all have THOSE moments..lol.
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) I was wondering how it was pronounced. Now I won't look like an idiot when I ask for it. 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. Sounds good, especially since there's no HFCS!! I'll know what to expect now as far as the taste goes.
Good cosmo ~~~ of course everyone does 'em different, but here's mine:<ul>
2 shots vodka
1 shot cointreau
3/4 shot fresh lime juice
Small splash cranberry juice, just enough to make it pink.[/LIST] Sounds WONDERFUL. I can't wait to try it, but I think at home first.
Another OLD standard is the Sidecar. (Gosh, now I'm dating myself.) <ul>
2 shots cointreau
1 shot fresh lemon juice
1/2 shot cognac
[/LIST]
 bottoms up! Actually, the Cosmo sounds better to me. Hey, don't think twice about dating yourself. I remember when a "grasshopper" was my fav drink, then a "gold Cadilac".........hows that for dating one's self?
