Do these measurements sound right for a Cosmopolitan?

    I was looking online for a Cosmopolitan recipe and the measures seem to vary wildy from recipe to recipe. I don't want to knock my guests out, so I was going to use the one from the the Absolut website, but my OH says they will be way too weak.

    2 parts Absolut citron
    6 parts Cranberry juice
    1 part Contreau
    Dash of lime
    Piece of lime rind to garnish.

    What do you think? Too strong? Too weak? Just right?

    Cheers!

    Looks ok to me, will be about 10%-15% alcohol although wiki gives a stronger recipe.

    Try both?;)

    4 parts cranberry works for me - otherwise it's a little too sour. if you use Absolut Citron then there's no need for the dash of lime. Use the lime if you only have regular vodka.

    Mine:

    1 part bols triple sec
    2 parts vodka
    4/5 parts cranberry juice (add this to personal)
    Juice of half a lime

    Shake over ice, pour into an ice-cold glass. I also add mellon balls on occasion too. I haven't really tried them myself, the wife loves them though ;)
