Tips:

  • Chill Your Ingredients: For the best results, chill all of your ingredients before making the cosmopolitan. This will help to ensure that the drink is refreshing and flavorful.

  • Serve Immediately: Cosmopolitans are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
  • Garnish with a Twist: A classic cosmopolitan is garnished with a twist of lime. This adds a bit of extra flavor and looks very elegant.
