Dukes Cosmopolitan from Ina Garten's Foolproof cookbook

Several weeks ago I hosted Thanksgiving. I decided I wanted to make a festive drink for the occasion. That's where Ina Garten comes in handy. I highly recommend her Foolproof cookbook for surefire dishes,  and beverages that pack a punch. I made her version of Sidecars one Christmas Eve (highly successful). This time it was a Cosmopolitan that toasted the turkey.

Ingredients:

• 4 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 4 ounces Cointreau
• 7 ounces cranberry cocktail
• 7 ounces good vodka
• dash of raw egg white (optional)
• ice

Methods: In a pitcher, stir together the lemon juice, Cointreau, cranberry juice  and vodka. I didn't use the egg white. Fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice and pour enough of the mixture into the shaker to almost fill it. Then shake for a full 30 seconds before straining in to martini glasses.
