A second recipe from the Barefoot Contessa's Back to Basics cookbook. Last night we had another couple over for New Year's Eve. I made them both try to the crackers. She said it was more of a "meh" kind of recipe but might taste better with a slice of sausage on top. He said he liked them. My husband said they tasted too much like shortbread. The recipe does suggest that they have a consistency of shortbread but the taste of a cracker.
After going out for supper and doing some bowling we came back and I made the Pomegranate Cosmopolitan recipe. I made it to the letter except for using pre-squeezed lime juice. I shook it in the shaker with ice as requested and poured it into one of my nifty glasses that my husband bought for me last year. I eagerly took a large swig and almost choked! LOL! It was sooooooo strong!!
Apparently the look on my face was quite comical because they all wanted a swig too. LOL. Everyone agreed that it was good but way too strong. I diluted it with more POM, more Cran cocktail and more lime juice and it was very yummy!! I would make this again, but double the amount of non-alcoholic ingredients. As it was I had way too much of this drink and as a result - slept in until 9am the next day (for me that's late as 7am is my usual) and woke with a headache!!! Hee Hee....
