One of my favorite cocktails
ever is the seasonal Winter White Cosmo that Bonefish carries in December. They go down so smoothly, and goodness
gracious, are they delicious! As much as
I love Bonefish, the $9 price point per drink hurts so this past Christmas I set out to learn how to make them at
home.
I turned to none other than
Pinterest for a copycat recipe, but didn’t have much luck. I tried two different recipes that I found
but neither tasted remotely like Bonefish’s, so I ended up pulling ingredients
from two of the different recipes I had found and then tweaking everything to
come up with an original recipe. I think
I was finally able to capture the flavor pretty well, and even if it’s not
exact, it’s still so darn good!
Back at Christmas I posted the picture below of three of the drinks that I made on Christmas Eve on Instagram, and
my direct message inbox started blowing up with people wanting the recipe so
for all of you who were wondering, here it is!
Use It
Martini glasses (I love these.)
Buy It
1 1/2 oz. cranberry vodka
1/2 oz. triple sec
1/2 oz. St. Germain
1/2 oz. St. Germain
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
5 oz. white cranberry juice
3-4 cranberries to garnish
Make It
1.
Combine first
five ingredients over ice in a shaker.
2.
Shake and then
strain into a martini glass.
3.
Garnish with cranberries.
This recipe makes one
cocktail.
One warning
before you get started – finding white cranberry juice was tough. I searched a couple of our local Publix
grocery stores and couldn’t find it, nor could I find it at Target. I finally found it at Walmart, and it was the
Great Value brand (Walmart’s private label brand), not one of the main name
brands, which was fine with me! Also,
they only had one left in the whole store, so apparently it’s not a common item
to carry. SO – if you decide to make one
of these, don’t be surprised if you have trouble finding the juice. BUT – if you do make these, the white
cranberry juice is the essence of the drink, so I highly doubt that it would be
anywhere near as good if you use a substitute.
Just an FYI.
I hope you all enjoy these
yummy little cocktails as much as I do!
My Momma sure does!

ReplyDeleteDrinks are so expensive nowadays! Glad you found out how to make this -- I've never tried it, so I'm pinning this for later.
ReplyDeleteYUM!!! Thank you so much for sharing, definitely pinning <3

This so so good! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good. I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI'll take one of these right now (we're having a snow day! ha!)
ReplyDeleteI don't drink, but I can admire it's beauty!!! Sometimes I think 1 (or 3) of those would help me get through my day, though!
ReplyDeleteHaha. They most definitely would! But then you'd be sleepy and wouldn't get anything done. ;o)
DeleteJust pinned this!! Holy moly - these look and sound incredible!
ReplyDeleteOkay, first of all, these LOOK amazing. Second, they SOUND delicious! I need to try this!
ReplyDeleteWe almostttt went to Bonefish while we were in Florida and ended up going somewhere else instead. Definitely going to go next time!
ReplyDeleteYou should! And if you ever go in December, be sure to try this drink!
DeleteI can see why everyone wanted the recipe! The pictures are beautiful and recipe sounds delicious. I've pinned!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I appreciate you pinning it!
DeleteI'm not a drinker but I bet it would taste just as good without the vodka! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us at the Creative Muster. Looking forward to seeing what you’ll be sharing next week. Pinning!
ReplyDeleteRobin😊
Oh yes, I bet it would! Thank you so much for pinning and thank you, as always, for hosting!
DeleteLooks good but...the Bonefish version has St. Germaine ( Elderflower) in it! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh thank you! That’s probably exactly what mine is lacking! I feel like mine tastes ALMOST as good as theirs, but it still feels like something is missing. I will have to try that and tweak my recipe!
DeleteThe only cranberry vodka I can find is bright red. It seems like that will ruin the color. If you found a clear cranberry vodka, can you share the brand name?
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, we use Smirnoff cranberry vodka because it's clear! They sell it at pretty much any package store. I hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by!
