Harry's Famous Cosmopolitan

         3 oz Grey Goose Vodka

         1 oz Cointreau

          ¼ of a fresh lime

          3 oz Cranberry Juice

1.     Chill the Martini glass by filling it with ice cubes and water.  Let this sit while you prepare the drinks.

2.    Put 7-8 ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. 

3.    Pour vodka, Cointreau and cranberry juice into the shaker. 

4.    Squeeze the lime so the juice goes into the cocktail shaker and then throw the squeezed lime into the shaker.

 

      5.    Let the mixture sit for 30 seconds.  

6.    Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for 20 seconds.  

7.    Drink the ice water that is in the martini glass, and then throw the ice away. 

8.    Pour the mixed drink from the shaker into the martini glass – using the strainer that comes with the cocktail shaker.

9.    DO NOT consume more than 2 of these drinks in one evening.  If you really need to have a third, wait until the next morning when you are thinking more clearly.  You can use plain vodka or L’Orange flavored.  The orange flavored vodka will create a sweeter martini.
