As we sat prepping in our test kitchen, we couldn’t but wonder, “Is there a way to update the cosmopolitan?” (If you didn’t get the Carrie Bradshaw reference, we forgive you) Using the Spherificator we added a fresh new pop to this cocktail that was once synonymous with ladies enjoying an adult beverage in the city.

Spherification Liquid
Mix together the cranberry juice, sugar, lime zest, and sodium citrate. Mix until all the sugar and sodium citrate have dissolved.
Whisk the liquid and sprinkle in the sphere magic. Allow the mixture to hydrate for 20 minutes.
Strain the liquid through a 250 micron superbag to remove the lime zest.
-
Calcium Simple Syrup
Mix water, sugar and calcium lactate in a small pot. Heat the mixture over medium high heat until it begins to simmer.
Cool the liquid completely before using.
-
Mix Cocktail
Pour the calcium syrup, water, and citrus vodka into a martini glass.
Alternately place the calcium syrup, water, and citrus vodka into a cocktail shaker with a few Ice cubes. Stir for 15 seconds before straining into a martini glass.
-
Create Spheres
Fill a spherificator with the cranberry liquid, let the spherificator dispense the spheres into the cocktail.
With the spherificator its best to keep moving the spherificator to help prevent the spheres from sticking together.
Stir gently before serving.
