For some reason, this warmer, beautiful weather we've been experiencing in Austin makes me think of brighter, cleaner flavors. Here's a variation of the Cosmo.

I love the color of this drink as well, shown above on one of Anne's handmade cocktail napkins.

1 oz of Vodka
3/4 oz of Orchard Apricot Liqueur
1 oz of Cranberry Juice Cocktail
1/4 oz Lime Juice

Put ingredients in cocktail shaker, give it a shake & strain into a Martini glass, garnish with garnish with Lime slice.

It's hard to believe that a couple of weeks ago we had temps cold enough to freeze my parents' fountain.
