Cosmopolitan
A drink that has been popularised by the TV series Sex and the City.
The key to making a good Cosmopolitan is to bring out the citrus flavour of the individual ingredients as much as possible. Ingredients such as citrus vodka, lime juice and cointreau all contain citrus aroma, which are the sources of the fresh citrus taste that you are looking for.
Spraying burnt lemon oil over the cocktail is the garnish that is the most 'appealing to the eye'. However, in my opinion the caramel smell of the oil can mask the fresh citrus scent that you have gathered from all the citrus-flavoured ingredients, so I prefer to simply float a lemon peel as a garnish.
Type: Long drink cocktail
Method: Shake
Glass: Cocktail glass
Garnish: Lemon peel
