Song of the Week 10/6/00 ~ In Care of the Blues
Recipe of the Week ~ Drop In a Lime ~ " Ginger " Cosmopolitan Cocktail with a Twist 'O Lime *
Patsy,(Virginia Hensley ~ although Patsy was nicknamed Ginny, Ginger is also another nickname for Virginia) was a country gal through and through, but as her career took off she adapted a special sophisticated style of her very own. Her new cosmopolitan
look further set her apart from all the other country gals, and her later recordings took on a smooth sophisticated sound as well. This " Ginger " Cosmopolitan Cocktail goes down as smooth as Patsy's voice sounds, and although you can never have too much of Patsy, I can't say the same about this potent
potable. Before serving this drink, don't forget to drop in a Lime!
* For those old enough to legally partake
Ginger Cosmopolitan with a Twist O' Lime
4 parts Ginger Vodka,
2 parts Cointreau or Triple Sec,
1 part Lime juice,
2 parts Cranberry juice
Don't care for the taste of ginger? Then make a traditional Cosmopolitan by substituting the Ginger Vodka with Absolut Citron Vodka!
Shake with ice, Serve up in a chilled cocktail glass, garnish with a Lime wedge or Lemon twist.
