Cosmopolitan Cocktail Drink Recipe 

I just started looking into bartending, but since I have no one on the inside to hook me up and can't get a restaurant job, I am getting ready for a bartending school. Your videos are helping me a lot to prep up. Thank you for all the videos

I just finished bartending school, and i'm looking to start bartending hopefully part time. Leaving my full time job. I heard the tip's are great!!...I dont know what these people are talking about, but i think your video's are great! I think they will help me in my bartending career. thanks again for posting your video lesson's.,..Keep up the good work!!,....Joey

Actually, when the drink was originally conceived, it did use Rose's Lime Juice. It was apparently originally a variation on a Lime Cordial, IIRC. Although the modern version goes for a more "refreshing" interpretation, this is probably closer to the way it originally was.

I have no idea about bartending but thank you for your videos, im going to use your tips for my birthday tonight!

Thanks for your kind words. You're a person of class and distinction.

@captainlavenderrocks If im not mistaken, its actually an old-bartender trick. Where if the bartenders were to serve a 1oz shot of a liquor/liqueur, they fill it up the jigger like 1/2 way, dump it in the glass, and pour a little bit more from the bottle, making the customer think hes getting more booze.

Whats up with all these negative comments... People are such arrogant douchebags sometimes, damn. Your videos are good, im learning new things thanks to you

Thanks for your positive comments. We try and do our best.

I love Carrie Bradshaw. I can't wait to turn 21 to order one of these. ;)

a cosmo always makes me think of carrie bradshaw! Love it.

Everyone gives you crap for your videos man. I say you are doing a great job. Plus everybody on here acts like they know the ONLY right recipe for the drink. there a ton of different ways and variations of drinks depending on the part of the world. I say nice job and keep up the videos.

I love these videos. After being captivated, I realized there was no American Bartending School anywhere near me :(

@drummerboy2591 Thanks for the support. When you make a free video on the internet it's surprising how many people want to trash it.

Thanks for your comments. While we appreciate your suggestions, it's obvious that you have never been a working bartender.

I'd love to see you make 15 of these vid in a row but drink each one at the end of each one! XD

These are the magicians who help the world go round.

Thanks for your kind words and support. Where are you're drink video?

Using lemon vodka is a pretty neat idea, I'll have to use that next time!

1.The original spec on a cosmo IS roses lime cordial, not fresh lime, its just better with fresh lime. 2. Before you build the ingredients into the boston glass you shouldn't add the ice, as this will start to melt as you pour the spirits in. 3. WHO taught you to shake? You shake like a girl. 4. Garnish should be a flamed orange zest. 5. Don't tap your shaker out on the bar top. 6. Why measure everything out if you're going to pour more in?

The world is full of experts and you must be one of them. Thanks for your comments

@nasty1k3 cointreau and triple sec are exactly the same, well not "exactly", but fair enough, anyways i d go with cointeau also with this one..

Thanks for the support.

Thanks for you kind words and support.

@wedacose plus if he fills the shot up and then pours it it'll run down the side and make a mess so he stops a little before its full and then finishes pouring from the bottle

wow

i don't have rose lime juice ,is there any other juice can instead of it?

Fresh ingredients are always the best but sometimes bar don't have them

sir...can u plz recommend some drinks other then mojito.....its 115F....in here.....in INDIA

nice work

@Trinacria1973 Depends on the amount of cranberry juice

Shake that Cosmo HARDER - and it should be pinker - that looked way too red.

Thanks for your kind words. What make you an expert, other than you obviously haven't been sober for years.

OH MY GOD !! how did he know I wanted to learn making cosmos because of Sex and the city ?????

Glad you like it

I love all your videos. Helped me alot with my bartending skills. Forget the other comments.

well its obvious you bartend at a cheaper kind of place, and although your technique isnt on par(not sure if you just wanted to get the video done with or you actually have no clue what your doing), its still a decent recipe although i would not pay for something without fresh lime juice, id send it right back and have another made with real lime juice, and if the bartender had a problem with it, i wouldnt tip him. as i run up a tab and tip when i pay the whole bill.

awesome!

Bottled lime juice???

You can use a 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice. The original recipe used fresh lime juice, but bartenders prefer Rose's Lime Juice for it's convenience.

Do one on your favorite drink.

hmm personally I prefer fresh lime and sugar syrup instead...also missing a traditional garnishing of the burnt orange peel

Thanks your kin words are appreciate

Check out our playlist there are over 200 different drinks.

im starting to learn for bartending, thanks a lot for the videos. keep it up, screw the haters

wowee

i'll try to produce a video for you with in 1month if you wan't ? what cocktail would you like me to do?

Cointreau is much better in a Cosmo than Triple Sec. Also I find that the lime juice is kind of pointless if you are using citrus flavored Vodka.

@captainlavenderrocks Cause his not a stingy bartender... I'll buy a drink from this guy all day everyday....!!

@jtiano i thought u suppose to do a good video so u can get some clients, but the Royceleanzer guy is right, even with the lemon squeeze in you eyes...

Lime cordial???!!! WTF!! Who does that anymore?

Cointreau makes a cosmo taste much better than Triple Sec.

never tap the shaker against bar!

Thanks for your kind words. You're apparently an individual with no manners or class.

He used too much cranberry. A proper cosmo should be slightly pink in color, not red.

nooooo thats wayy to red for a cosmo and not to mention a fucking lime wedge?

Thanks for your comments.

was it not obvious enough

Cosmopolitan should be bubblegum-pink. Too much Cran and should have used fresh squeezed lime

u should use fresh lime and less cranberry in order to get the pink

i think so this side isn't any one of Bartender. hey guys you need to be a tender. f

@meateatingvegans haha ;D yeah... drunk customers give better tips

That good

Hey dude, I do these for free. If you want perfection, come to my school and pay some cash and I'm sure you won't have any complaints.

No, screw everyone. These videos are great. Some people just can't appreciate anything nice. Great job, keep it up.

Don't watch the videos

why would he measure, and then continue to pour into the glass. I think this guy is just an actor, not a bartender

Why is it terrible?

this is just terible !!!

Always use fresh ingredients. Not that rose's artificial shit. A proper bartender should know that.

you pre chill your stem glass for the cosmopolitan , but in your daiquiri video you do not chill your glass.. I wonder why ???, there is absolutely no consistency in your technique . holding the bottle correctly means the label should be facing the guest ...and where is the flamed orange zest ????? i would squeeze that lemon juice into your eyes ... PEACE

that's not the right way how to make a cosmo,,you should watch again Sex and the City,,,,

No

I don't know why he uses jiggers, he always put ad libitum. His drinks looks awful always, and... what a weak style to shake.

This guy talks to much

you shouldn't teach any mixology or drinks. I hope dale degroff sues u
