They didn't have martini's *gasp* The server, who I actually knew through a mutual friend, said "Well, I could probably make a cosmo"
*gasp* I can't imagine what an Irish Pub's version of a cosmo might be.... I opted for whiskey... I do like whiskey... but I am not a beer drinker [despite the numerous beers they had available... their whiskey selection was equally impressive]
Anyways, it got me thinking, of just how different a cosmo is at different bars... I mean it SHOULD be straight forward, but too often people mix, adjust and create.... and I love it...
Here are a few of my fave versions of the popular Cosmopolitan Martini:
#1
-8 parts vodka
-2 parts cranberry juice
-1 part lime cordial
-1 part triple sec
Garnish with a Lemon Twist.
#2
-4 parts citron vodka
-3 parts triple sec
-1 part carnberry
-1 part lemon juice
Garnish with a Lemon Slice
#3
-2 parts vodka
-1 part triple sec
-1 part lime cordial
-1 part cranberry juice
Garnish with a lime wedge
#4
-8 parts vodka
-4 parts triple sec
-1 part lime juice
Garnish with a citrus slice or wedge.
#5
-8 parts vodka
-8 parts carnberry juice
-4 parts lime juice
-4 parts grand marnier
Garnish with a Lime Twist.

The picture that you've posted is of a half portion of bangers and mash, hence the small portion. The sausage is handmade by JN & Z on Commercial drive i.e. natural casing, all muscle, no additives or bi-product. The onion rings are corn meal encrusted, the gravy is a veal demi, decent mash, etc
ReplyDeleteIt is cool if you didn't like it (you did taste it, right?) but I'd be much obliged if you tell people that it is a half portion....it would be unfair if folk were misled.

Oh I didn't taste it - but it was apparently delicious!! I don't know I didn't eat - that is why I said "allegedly" I couldn't say either way - smelled good, looked good, and everyone eating said it tasted amazing - - :)
