Blackcurrent Cosmopolitan

I start with my own take on the Cosmopolitan as it has been my favourite drink since forever.

This version is a delicious thick and satisfying drink with a sweet bitter sting of blackcurrent with delicate undertones of cranberry and lime.

To start, ice your favourite martitni glass and chuck some ice in your mixer.
Grab a handful of blackberry's and crush in the glass.
add 2oz of Vodka
2oz of Cointreau 
For this occasion is used 1oz of Lime cordial as I didnt have any fresh limes... if you are prepared, unlike me(!) use the juice of a lime as it give a fresher taste.

Slap together in the mixer and shake hard!

get the strainer and pour into the glass half full topping up with cranberry juice.
