This is SK's first contribution to my blog. No surprise, it has alcohol involved. This is a Cosmopolitan - Shaken Not Stirred. (The phrase is a James Bond original and is usually used with a Vodka Martini.)1 oz vodka 1/2 oz triple sec 1/2 oz lime juice 1/2 oz cranberry juice
Shake vodka, triple sec, lime and cranberry juice vigorously in a shaker with ice. (don't stir it). Strain into a martini glass, garnish with lemon peel or olive.

SK made a frozen olive cube for this drink (see image). He inserted a toothpick into an olive and set it in water, in an ice tray. I thought it was pretty neat and the technique can be used with cherrys, limes and others garnishes as well.
The martini was strong but smooth. Good job mister.
