White Cosmopolitans #CocktailDay #Giveaway

White Cosmopolitans: A smooth twist on the classic made with white cranberry juice.

Cocktail Day

Welcome to Cocktail Day, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic, Liz of That Skinny Chick Can Bake, and Donna of Cookistry. We are raising our glasses to toast you all with some unique and delicious cocktails and mocktails in anticipation of the Big Game and Valentine’s Day. Be sure to bookmark or pin these creative beverages for your next gathering. We hope you enjoy this marvelous event and the incredible giveaways from our generous sponsors. On to my White Cosmopolitans. Cheers!

My real life friends know I get pretty loopy if I drink more than one glass of wine…one of the perils of being a skinny chick. But when I entertain, I love to have a festive cocktail…and these exquisite white cosmopolitans fit the bill perfectly. For a martini, these babies are so smooth and tasty. Just be sure to use a top shelf vodka. The white cranberry juice can be difficult to locate, but worth the extra stop at your larger grocery store.

White Cosmopolitans

I’m delighted to be joining up with some of my blogger pals today to share cocktail recipes…just in time for your Super Bowl festivities. I’ve had these White Cosmopolitans in my files for over a decade. I spotted them on Martha Stewart’s website…where she had garnished them with what looked like a small white orchid. That spectacular image stayed with me for years. And now I’m thrilled to know that these taste as marvelous as they look. But beware, as with all martinis, they pack a punch. So please sip responsibly.
