Although the cosmopolitan cocktail was created in the 1930s, it experienced a surge in popularity in the 1990s. It was further popularized with young women by the show Sex In The City where the main character, Carrie Bradshaw, ordered the drink when out with her girlfriends. Tonight I am having my friend Megan over and thought it would be fun to make a cosmopolitan. Because it is a hot summer night, I have decided to put a spin on the cosmos by turning them into slushies. Girlfriends and a Cosmo Slushy: it's a good thing!

Ingredients
4 1/2 ounces vodka or citrus vodka
1/4 cup cranberry juice cocktail
1/4 cup triple sec or Cointreau
1 1/2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
4 1/2 ounces vodka or citrus vodka
1/4 cup cranberry juice cocktail
1/4 cup triple sec or Cointreau
1 1/2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
In a large freezer safe container, combine all if the ingredients and stir to mix evenly. Freeze them for an hour and then stir again. This will never freeze solid but you will get a great slushy mix. Scoop the slushies into martini or wine glasses and enjoy.
