Cosmopolitan

While I’ve been in many leadership situations throughout my work life, I’m a pretty good follower as well, so when a blogger buddy says this is too good to pass up, I try not to. Back in November, Pam, over At Sidewalk Shoes, posted her recipe for Cranberry Liqueur. Then in January, she posted a recipe for a Cosmopolitan and I decided to make a batch of the liqueur – actually 2 batches.

As I’ve said many times, Bev has been on, what amounts to, a low carb diet and she wanted me to make a batch of the liqueur using a sugar substitute – Truvia. They finished up this week and I made up one Cosmopolitan from each liqueur – they tasted pretty much the same except the sugar one was sweeter, and Bev actually preferred the other one. Here’s a shot of mine but for a really nice photo, go to Pam’s site or here.

I’m not a sweet drink kind of guy, but if I were, I’d love these and I think I'll try another one with more lime juice to see what I think. One caution – these things are like manhattans or martini’s and will quickly put you on your arse. I can see many of uses for the cranberry liqueur in sauces and baking, like the muffins Pam suggested.

Happy Valentine's Day and thanks for stopping by.
