I was first introduced to a French Cosmo with Absolut Mandarin at a restaraunt/bar in Asheville, North Carolina. Don't remember the name of the place but it was run by a Black lady who could sing just like Billie Holiday. Food there was Gourman! Ingredients:
1 ounce vodka (absolut mandarin-a must!) |
1/2 ounce grand marnier |
1/2 ounce prepared sweet-and-sour mix |
1/2 ounce cranberry juice |
1/4 ounce lime juice |
1 drop grenadine |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup fresh lime juice |
1 cup fresh lemon juice |
1 cup water |
Directions:
1. Put the first 5 ingredients, excluding Grenadine, into a shaker, then shake well and strain into a well chilled martini glass.
2. Last, slowly pour a drop of Grenadine into middle of glass and let fall to bottom and color the stem red.
3. Garnish with Lime Wheel or a Lemon Twist.
4. For the Sweet and Sour Mix:.
5. Combine sugar and water until all the sugar is dissolved. Add lemon and lime juices and refrigerate.
