A bunch of us girls are sitting here listening to some outstanding music (Hotel California by Eagles followed by some REM and some Backstreet Boy's—we’re
a pretty eclectic group!), exchanging hilarious “girls’ night out
stories” (some of which are pretty crazy) and laughing a lot. We’re also
sipping luscious Cosmopolitans, which seem to be an element of most of
the narratives we’re hearing. There’s a reason for that.
When you’re out to have fun, a little loosening up never hurts, and
nothing does it in better taste than a perky, pink Cosmopolitan—the
cocktail made famous by the TV show Sex and the City. It’s
definitely a girly drink, but hey, we’re girls—and we do have excellent
taste. We’re pretty sure you do, too, so our little group gathering is
dedicated to growing our membership (including you!) and sharing a few
of our cool ideas for a cosmo-fueled girls’ night out!
“Girls’ Night In” Spa Party
Okay, you got us. A spa party is as cliché as bar hopping for a
girls’ night out. We do it with a bit of a twist. We make it a “girls’
night in”, and bring the spa to us. Check with your local spas to see
which ones will come to your home for manis, pedis, facials, massages,
etc. Have each guest bring an appetizer, and be sure to have plenty of
Cosmopolitan components on hand! You’ll send everyone home relaxed,
refreshed and ready to make their own Cosmopolitans with this handy “Oh,
So Cosmopolitan!” Reversible Recipe Coaster! Speaking of recipes,
here’s the basic recipe for a Cosmopolitan, which you’ll find on one
side of the coaster:
4 oz. Vodka
2 oz. Triple Sec
2 oz. Cranberry Juice
1 oz. Lime Juice
1 Orange Slice
A Twist of Lime
Shake vodka, triple sec, lime and cranberry juice vigorously in a
shaker with ice. Strain into a martini glass, garnish with a lime wedge
on the rim, serve, sit back and unwind.
Belly Dancing Bash
Here’s an evening that will leave you breathless—in more ways than
one. Take a belly-dancing class and shake what you’ve got for a couple
of hours—long enough to work up a thirst. Then head to a favorite
watering hole to cap off the evening with cosmopolitans, nourishment and
a few belly laughs!
“Go Directly to Jail” Game Night
The beauty of a girls’ game night is that you can stay in and play
board games like Monopoly, Scrabble, Apples to Apples (a fabulous
game!), Trivial Pursuit or whatever you love to play. Combine it with
Cosmos and canapĂ©s and go for the win! Or, if you live near a casino, hit the gaming tables—blackjack, roulette, poker, the slots. The Cosmos will come to you. However, please do make it a point not to do anything that will cause you to “go directly to jail!”
On that cautionary note, we’ll save a few more Cosmo-cool ideas for
girls’ night out until next time. Meanwhile, think film, France and
far-out food!
Happy Planning!
