Cosmopolitan - Shaker BarSchool®

http://ow.ly/2gtL4 The Cosmopolitan has been around, in various guises, since the 1980s. Its one of the most popularly ordered cocktails but this relatively straightforward drink is now more famous for its garnish than its ingredients.

Glass: 5 oz Martini or 10oz rocks glass
Method: shake & strain
Ice cubes
25ml citron vodka
25ml triple sec or Cointreau
25ml cranberry juice
Juice of 1 lime wedge

Put all the ingredients into a mixing glass. Cap with a Boston shaker and shake vigorously for a few seconds. Double strain into a chilled Martini glass or serve on the rocks in a rocks glass.


Garnish
This drink probably became world famous due to its unique garnish the orange flambé. Cut a thin strip of peel from an orange, taking as little of the pith as possible. Holding the skin towards the drink, snap the peel over a lighter flame. The flame should brush the surface of the drink and the warm oils should spray over the surface, creating an instant aroma and flavour. Wipe the peel around the rim and slip into the drink.

Cosmopolitan variations

Metropolitan: use Absolut Kurrant vodka instead of citron vodka

Purple Cosmo: use blue curaçao instead of Cointreau

Fruit Cosmos: add fresh fruit or Funkin puree; berries work very well

I love how you do the cocktails with great speed while still giving all the relevant information and maintain the quality. So that is at which speed you should basically be able to mix the drink as a bartender, not slower, not faster.

The orange flame is so essential, it makes the drink!

[Altarcraft]

How do you make your orange skin explode that way? I've eaten 3 oranges trying that and I still don't get that effect!

These are by far the best cocktail tutorials that exist on the internet. Bartender is awesome and his accent makes it even better for some reason. Well done. I'd love to see one for a Sazerac!
