This Snowy Cosmopolitan is a fun winter cocktail.
I think we all need a special cocktail to make for the holidays. This snowy cosmopolitan cocktail is a good choice. It’s perfectly festive looking, and it’s easy to make too.
What is a Cosmopolitan?
A cosmopolitan, also known as a “cosmo,” is a cocktail made with vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed or sweetened lime juice.
This cosmo is made classically with a few twists. The vodka used is citrus vodka. The cranberry juice used is white cranberry juice instead of traditional cranberry juice. This helps give it that snowy vibe. And the special snowflake garnish is the best part!
How to make an apple snowflake cocktail garnish?
Use any apple variety that you want. Slice the apples thinly right through the middle. Use a knife to carefully carve out a snowflake shape. It’s pretty because the seeds in the middle add to the festive look of the snowflake. Use your snowflake apples to garnish your snowy cosmopolitans!
