What do you mean Skinny Cosmopolitan? Many mistakenly believe a Cosmo
recipe is always a great choice when looking to enjoy a low calorie
"skinny" cocktail. The truth of the matter is variations in the recipe and
amounts of each ingredient used can dramatically alter the caloric value
of this popular vodka cocktail. And look out…calories are not the only
consideration. Hidden in most Cosmopolitan recipes are many unnecessary
and unwanted grams of carbs and sugars. So when you are looking to add
crisp cranberry and citrus flavors to your vodka cocktails the ingredients
choices you make can add up. Here is the Skinny on Cosmopolitan Cocktail
Recipes.
A Cosmopolitan recipe calls for pouring amounts of vodka, an orange based
liqueur, cranberry juice and lime juice over ice in a cocktail shaker,
shaking vigorously for at least 5-10 seconds, straining the contents into
a chilled martini glass then garnishing with a lemon twist or lime wedge.
Depending on the choices you make the calories in your cocktail can be as
few as 72 or over 300. Please note all caloric values are approximate as
actual numbers can vary by brand.
To begin our quest for the perfect Skinny Cosmopolitan let's review and
measure the benchmark of Cosmopolitan recipes from the International
Bartenders Association: Official Cosmopolitan Recipe
COSMOPOLITAN (Large cocktail glass)
4.0 cl. Vodka Citron
1.5 cl. Cointreau
1.5 cl. Fresh Lime juice
3.0 cl. Cranberry juice
Add all ingredients into cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and
strain into large cocktail glass. Garnish with lime slice.
[Wait stop! What is a cl? I am in need of a cocktail recipe not a math
class.]
Well just so you know a cl is the metric unit centiliter. One Centiliter
is equivalent to .34 fluid ounces. The usual bar measurement is a "jigger"
that is 1.5 fluid ounces or another common bar measurement is a "pony"
that is equivalent to 1 fluid ounce.
