A few weeks ago, when Brian and I had dinner at the
Central Park Boathouse,
we got to enjoy a couple of their delicious specialty cocktails. I
opted for the mango mojito and Brian was drawn to the French
cosmopolitan. He and I both like traditional cosmos although they're a
bit on the strong side for me.
The Boathouse makes their cosmo with citrus vodka, although adding lime
is the more traditional method. The French part comes from the addition
of St. Germain. And since we're huge St. Germain lovers, how could we
resist this. The drink that we were served was such a beautiful, bright
color and had a nice elderflower fragrance. Back home, we recreated
the drink and added it to our repertoire. Cheers!
Per Serving:
1 1/2 oz. Vodka
1 oz. Cranberry juice
1 oz. St. Germain elderflower liqueur
1/2 oz. Triple sec
1 Teaspoon lime juice
1 Teaspoon maraschino cherry juice (optional)
Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker, fill with ice and
shake well. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass and garish with several
maraschino cherries and a wedge of lime, if desired.
