Long Cosmo
Summer 2021
We’ve turned this normally pink spirit-forward cocktail into a tall, cool summery highball. Layering it with a bright red float is easier than you might think (TIP: The juice must be unsweetened), and the stunning visual result is worth the effort!
Makes 1 drink
1 1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz triple sec
1 oz Simple Syrup (recipe follows)
1 oz lime juice
1 to 2 oz pure (unsweetened) cranberry juice
2 oz soda water
Lime wedge for garnish
1. To a highball glass filled with ice, add vodka, triple sec, simple syrup and lime juice. Stir to mix.
2. Gently and slowly pour cranberry juice overtop (pouring over the rounded back of a spoon helps create a gentle pour that “floats” on top of the cocktail).
3. Top with soda. Garnish with lime wedge and serve. (Stir to mix before drinking.)

SIMPLE SYRUP
Bring 1 cup (250 mL) water to a boil and stir in 1 cup (250 mL) sugar until dissolved. Pour into jar and let cool. If storing, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 month.
Makes 1 1/2 cups (375 mL)
