Shaking Up The Cosmo

"This cosmopolitan is the perfect blend of spice, sweet and fun," says Cindi Bigelow, a third-generation Bigelow family member and the company's co-president.

The TV show is now in reruns, and this drink could stick around forever, too. Here's the recipe:

"Constant Comment"

Cosmo

Ingredients:

6 Bigelow® "Constant Comment" tea bags

11/4 cups (310mL) boiling water

1/3 cinnamon stick

2 tablespoons (30mL) sugar

4 ounces (120mL) vodka

1/4 cup (60mL) fresh orange juice

Instructions:

Place Bigelow® "Constant Comment" tea bags into a measuring cup and add 11/4 cups boiling water and cinnamon stick, let brew five minutes. Remove tea bags and cinnamon stick, add sugar and stir until it dissolves. Chill.

To make Cosmo, mix 2 ounces of the cooled sweet tea with 1 ounce vodka and 1 tablespoon orange juice in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a martini glass, garnish with a strip of orange zest and cinnamon stick if desired.
