Cherry Cosmo


 Every friday is happy hour here at my house.  We celebrate a successful work week and the coming days of relaxation.  This Friday was no different, except I didn't have any plain vodka, just cherry Vodka.  Would it work in a Cosmo, HELL YES IT DID!  My recipe follows and it makes two generous servings.

What would I do different?  I'd have a snazzy garnish like a Lime zest strip and maraschino cherry on a skewer.  

Cherry Cosmo 

  • 2 Shots Cherry Vodka
  • 1 Shot Triple Sec
  • 1 Shot Cranberry Juice
  • 1 shot Fresh squeezed Lime Juice
  • 2 2" strip lime zest
  • 2 maraschino cherry
Fill a cocktail shaker half full of ice.  Add shots of liquor and juices.  Cap the shaker and shake until your hands are cold (30-45 seconds).  Pour through a strainer and split between two chilled martini glasses.  For each cocktail wrap the cherry with the lime zest strip and skewer with a cocktail pick.

Cheers y'all its how we roll at Casa Frazgo on the weekends!
