Blood Orange Cosmopolitan

Blood Orange Cosmopolitan with a Dehydrated Fruit Garnish

This blood orange cosmopolitan keeps the classic coupe-glass presentation while giving the drink a deeper citrus note. Vodka and orange liqueur form the base, blood orange juice adds color and fruit character, and fresh lime keeps the finish bright. A Dried Yet. dehydrated blood orange slice completes the drink without adding more prep at serving time.

Why garnish a cosmopolitan with dried blood orange?

The blood orange wheel echoes the citrus already in the cocktail and gives the finished drink a clean, distinctive look. Because the garnish is already sliced and dried, it can go straight from the pouch to the glass instead of requiring fresh fruit to be cut for each drink.

Serving tips

• Chill the coupe before mixing so the drink stays colder after straining.
• Shake the vodka, orange liqueur, blood orange juice and lime with ice until well chilled.
• Add the dried blood orange wheel after straining so it remains visible on the finished drink.
