Pink!

[missroserose]

This is a little different from my usual cocktail-recipe posts. I post recipes for drinks that I find noteworthy in some way; usually it's because it's something particularly delicious. But this one definitely didn't stand out taste-wise; it was perfectly drinkable, but tasted more or less like any kind of generic girly cocktail you'd get at a bar.

That said, both the taste and the color - of which I'm sad I didn't get a picture, but Google Image Search helped me find something close - were so completely and unutterably pink that I thought I'd post it anyway.  I honestly can't think of anything that would taste pinker than this (although I'm willing to test theories, should anyone wish to posit them.)

So, the recipe:

Raspberry Cosmo

1 1/3 oz raspberry vodka
1/2 oz triple sec
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz cranberry juice

Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.  Garnish with your favorite Cosmo garnish along with fresh raspberries.

The only way I can think of to make that taste any girlier would be to squeeze pure estrogen into the shaker. :)

If I can get my hands on any, I'll give it a shot. :)

If you come across an easy extraction method, let me know. :D
