Happy Hour Friday (8)

Last Friday, My friend Suzie-Q hosted a fun girls' night at her house for Ren and me. While we poured a bit of our 40oz out on the street for Karen (who had to go out of town at the last minute), she was there too, if only in spirit.

We decided to mix up some cosmopolitans, since Suzie had a mega-bottle of Ketel One vodka and triple sec available for the pouring. But they were cosmos with a twist, so I decided to call them Q-smos!

Q-smo
(This recipe makes two martinis!)

Use juice from a lemon or lime to coat the rim of two martini glasses.
Dip said glass in sugar. Set aside.
Fill a martini shaker with ice.
Add 2 parts vodka
Add 1 part triple sec
Add 1 part cranberry juice
Add the juice of 1/2 lemon
Add the juice of 1 lime
Shake vigorously.
Pour your lovely concoction into those two sugar-rimmed martini glasses.

The lemon and lime juice makes this drink very tart, so the sugar on the glasses is needed to balance the drink.

These were delish! We downed a few whilst watching Weeds, then promptly passed out.

It was a lovely evening! Thanks Q!

I know, and isn't it funny how the drinks would get more potent as the evening went on? I wonder why... ha! :-)
