Hallo ihr alle da draussen...just before i have to go back to camp, cutting my weekend short...yes, i am the DOO (Duty Orderly Officer) tomorrow...so i guess when everyone's out enjoying the close of the weekend (or is it the opening of another week?) i will be rotting in the Ops Room. Sigh. Oh well...i guess it helps to save money...every time i go out i spend money, and if i stay home...it's not very good sometimes because sometimes there are conflicts between me and my family too...having less time at home, sometimes, makes it better in that everyone appreciates everyone more. Non?
I guess now i shall report on the Project: Cosmopolitan I last night. Firstly, i think i added too much Cointreau. The Cosmopolitan smelt strongly of Cointreau, Cointreau, Cointreau! The scent of oranges just wafted up from the glass... Secondly, the cocktail was sour. I don't know if that's how a Cosmopolitan is supposed to taste because there never is a benchmark for cocktails - some people say it's sweet and some books say it's sour. So...what do i do? I guess today i will reduce the Cointreau content a bit and see how it goes again. I also just found out that i can make a Scarlett O'Hara, but that's another story.
Cosmopolitan
Shake with ice the following:
30ml Absolut Citron
22ml Cointreau
8ml fresh lime juice
15ml cranberry juice
Go to where the lime trees grow
Ask them for one, or maybe two
Green fresh limes for you to borrow
For them to offer their very juice...
Absolut Citron, lemon vodka
Measure a shot carefully in a cup
A citrus scent belies its strength
Beware, it hits just like a tank...
Cointreau, l'espirit d'orange
Brewed from oranges specially picked
Orange fragrances tempt the senses
A liqeuer referred to in many tenses
Cranberry, a deep blood red
Lends a Cosmopolitan its reddish shade
Sourness with a hint of sweet
Like matters of the heart, if you take a peep...
So fill your shaker now with ice
Squeeze the limes over those crystal dice
Absolut Cointreau, embodiment of citrus
Don't forget the cranberry juice first!
So close the glass and give it a shake
Watch the differences begin to fade
Take a look - c'est parfait?
And so a Cosmopolitan is made...
