California Cosmopolitan Cocktail

Here's our fun holiday to serve during the holidays. Most people think of eggnog or peppermint as their Christmas flavors of choice, but when I think winter... I think citrus!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Pinnacle vodka
  • ½ cup triple sec
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup sanding sugar for the rim of the glass

Instructions

  • Dampen the rim of your martini glass with a wet paper towel. Dip the rim in sanding sugar to give the glasses some sparkle and the drink a touch of sweetness. I used yellow to complement the color of the cocktail.
  • Combine vodka, triple sec, orange juice, and lemon juice in a pitcher. You can chill in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.

Notes

To garnish,  I cut a round slice of orange, removed the juicy orange part, then thinned out the peel with a paring knife. I held it in a tight twist for a few seconds, and let go.
