A few weeks ago, Safeway had On the Rocks Cocktails on sale for $5 for the 375 ml (12 oz) bottle. I’m not much of a cocktail drinker – I don’t like the taste of alcohol – but I figure it was worth trying a few. I got the Cosmopolitan<\/a><\/strong>, the espresso martini<\/a>, the Margarita <\/a>and the jalape\u00f1o pineapple Margarita<\/a> – the latter two for my husband. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A cosmopolitan<\/a> is a simple cocktail of sweetened cranberry juice, lime juice, vodka and orange liqueur. It was the favorite cocktail of Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City<\/a>, and that’s probably why I finally tried it some years ago. And I liked it. If you’re lucky, the sweetness masks the alcohol and makes it easy to drink.

In that sense, On the Rock’s cosmopolitan is initially successful. The alcoholic taste is pretty well masked by the sweetness and acidity in the drink. It does, however, burn a little going down the throat. That makes it feel unbalanced. Still, I’ll buy it again if I see it on sale again.
The 375ml bottles are usually $13 at Safeway and $11 at Target. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
