A Modern Cocktail- The Metropolitan

PUBLISHED ON: 02.10.2012
There has been cocktails experiments taking place at my house.  My husband has been looking for a new cocktail to serve up for Valentine’s Day.  I do believe he has found one….Say hello to the Metropolitan.
This cocktail uses one of the more creditable flavors of the vodkas in Absout’s arsenal with good results.
The cocktail includes blackcurrant vodka, combined with cranberry and lime juice.  It’s a fruity cocktail, but one that can sneak up on you pretty quickly if you are not careful.
