The Virgin Cosmopolitan brings the elegance of the famous classic into the glass entirely without alcohol. Cranberry juice, fresh lime and a hint of orange create a fruity, tart drink in a delicate pink. Stylishly served in a coupe, it is in no way inferior to the original.
Instructions
- Put cranberry juice, lime juice, orange juice and sugar syrup into the shaker with ice.
- Shake vigorously for about 10 seconds.
- Strain into a chilled coupe.
- Express a lime zest over the glass and garnish.
Garnish: Lime zest
Pro tip: Use freshly squeezed lime juice instead of concentrate - the fresh acidity makes the decisive difference and keeps the drink elegant rather than too sweet.
