This recipe is:
[recipe_key]Ingredients
Red currant syrup
- 50 grams red currants
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 120 ml water
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Cosmopolitan cocktail recipe
- 5 teaspoons red currant syrup
- 4 tablespoons Vodka
- ½ lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 100 ml Sparkling wine
- handfull ice cubes
Notes
- Instead of red currants you can use strawberries, raspberries or blackberries.
- By adding ⅛ teaspoon Sea salt to the syrup, the sweet flavor will become enhanced.
- Keep your hand on the lid of the cocktail shaker while shaking. You don't want to splash your cocktail all around the house.
- Sieve the red currant syrup, so you remove all seeds and skins from your syrup.
- In a Cosmopolitan cocktail recipe you use Triple Sec. I choose Grand Marnier, but you can substitute it with Cointreau.
- For an even more elegant cocktail you can replace the sparkling wine with Champagne.
- Pour the Cosmopolitan through a sieve into your glass. You want it cold, but not diluted by the ice.
Instructions
Red currant syrup
- Take the red currants of the stems and wash them.
- Put them in a saucepan and add sugar, water, and sea salt.
- Bring to a boil at medium heat and, when it boils, turn the heat to low.
- Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pour the berries into a fine sieve (which is placed on top of a bowl) and let it drip. Press with the back of a spoon the remaining juice through the sieve.
- Let it cool slightly.
Cosmopolitan cocktail with red currant syrup
- Put the red currant syrup, Vodka, and Grand Marnier into the cocktail shaker.
- Juice half a lime above the shaker. Pour the sparkling wine into the shaker as well.
- Add a handful of ice cubes and put the lid on the shaker.
- While you hold the lid, shake for 1 minute.
- Take the little lid of the shaker (so remain the sieve) and pour the Cosmopolitan into a glass.
- Garnish with slices of lime and red currants.
