Giraffe's Refreshing Sweet and Sour Low-Carb Cosmopolitans

This week we thought we would celebrate Sex and the City's 20th Anniversary with our Sweet and Sour Low-Carb Cosmopolitans, or Cosmos!

Whenever "the girls" from Sex and the City decided to go clubbing, the Cosmo was their drink of choice.  We remember trying our first Cosmo and just fell in love with them. Who doesn't love Vodka with an added orange and cranberry flavor?!!

Nowadays, we've switched to alcoholic drinks with lower carb counts.  However, the fun doesn't have to end here. We have a fun recipe to replicate our favorite Cosmo experience.

Our recipe is very easy and takes less than 5 minutes to make.

Our ingredients for our cocktail are as follows:

• 4 tsp. Sweetener of Choice
• 3-4 Ice Cubes
• 3 Drops of Orange Extract
• 2 Tbsp. Diet Cranberry Juice
• 2 Tbsp. Cold Water
• 1 1/2 Shots of Vodka
• I Tbsp. Lime Juice
• 1 Lime

We'll begin by placing our ice cubes in our Martini Shaker.  

If a shaker is unavailable, 2 glasses or cups could be used, instead.  

We'll then, pour our Vodka, Cranberry Juice, and extract over our ice.

Next, we'll slice our line in half.

We'll use one half to slice up, in order to garnish our Cosmos Glass.  .

We'll then, use the other half of our lime to squeeze 1 Tbsp. of Lime Juice for our Cosmos and will add to our shaker.

Next, we'll add our sweetener to our shaker and will cover.

We'll now, vigorously shake our shaker to thoroughly mix our contents.

Finally, we'll pour our contents into our Martini Glass and will garnish with our sliced lime.

Voila and Cheers! 

Our flirty and refreshing Cosmopolitan is ready for our lips!

Now that we have our Sweet and Sour Low-Carb Cosmopolitan, we are ready to binge watch Sex and the City!

As Carrie says in the last episode, "why did we ever give these up?"

From our kitchen to yours~

Enjoy!

Happy 20th Anniversary - Sex and the City!  😊😊😊
