If you’re anything like me, you want the fun part of hosting (the chats and the snacks)… not standing at the bench squeezing limes while all your guests are enjoying themselves without you!
This Cosmopolitan is a proper party-batch made in the Thermomix, and the best bit is how quickly it comes together with the Citrus Juicer Attachment for Thermomix. Attach it on, juice your limes straight into the bowl, then add everything else and mix — your lime juice is already in your TM bowl. Easy.
Make the whole batch in advance, decant into bottles, and keep it in the fridge so you can pour fancy cocktails in seconds when guests arrive… that’s my kind of entertaining.

Ingredients
120g fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
665g vodka
330g Cointreau
1L sweet cranberry juice (not unsweetened!)
Method
- Attach your Citrus Juicer Attachment for Thermomix onto your machine. Run Thermomix on speed 2.5. Cut limes in half and juice directly into the mixing bowl, just like you would any electric juicer. You’re aiming for about 120g fresh lime juice - I don't bother measuring, I just go with 4 limes and adjust flavour later if needed.
- Remove the juicer attachment, and you’re ready to keep going — the lime juice is already in your Thermomix bowl.
- Add vodka, Cointreau and cranberry juice. Mix for 10 seconds, speed 3. Pour into glass bottles and refrigerate for minimum 2 hours (up to three days).
When ready to serve (and get the party started), pour into chilled martini glasses. Easy! If you're feeling really fancy, garnish with a lime wheel or a strip of orange zest.
Note: If it tastes too tart, add a splash more cranberry. If it tastes too sweet, add a little more lime.
