Peach Cosmo AKA "Woo Woo"




Ingredients

2oz         Vodka
2oz         Cranberry Juice
1/2oz      Monin Peach Syrup
1            Lime 
              Ice cubes

Glass type: Martini/Cocktail



My Rating: 3/5




Method:

1. Chill the Martini glass by putting some ice in it.
2. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and 4-5 ice cubes, shake vigorously. Stop when the shaker is ice cold, over doing it will dilute the drink.
3. Remove the ice from the Martini glass and strain the content of the shaker into the glass.
4. Garnish with a slice of orange or lime.

Note: The classic peach cosmo does not have lime, added it for a slight sour flavor
