Pink

The Ging introduced me to these pomegranate cosmos created by Ina Garten. Ging calls them “Pink” and they’re the best cosmos I’ve ever tasted.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups (16 ounces) good vodka

  • 1 cup (8 ounces) orange liqueur such as Cointreau

  • 1 cup (8 ounces) pomegranate juice (recommended: Pom Wonderful)

  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (3 limes) Lime peel strips, to garnish

DIRECTIONS 

  1. Combine the vodka, orange liqueur, pomegranate juice, and lime juice in a pitcher and refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. Pour the mixture into frozen martini glasses with a twist of lime peel and serve immediately.

From the Ging: I use Harlequin for Cointreau. Little cheaper, bigger punch. Sometimes I play with ratios as follows: 1-½ cups vodka, 1/3 cup orange liquor, juice of 3 limes and entire bottle of POM. Sometimes I'll use Citron. Really can't mess this up. 😊

If you’d like one lower in alcohol, try this version from Art’s friend, Corky:

  • 1 cup Citron vodka

  • 1-½ cups pomegranate juice

  • 1/3 cup Cointreau or Harlequin

  • 1/3 cup lime juice
