Ocado - Recipes - Nigella's Cosmo Cocktail Sausages
“Old recipes are like faithful friends whose presence is always reassuring, so
I’m very happy that my Cosmo Cocktail Sausages – the mainstay of many a
Christmas party over the years – have now come to Ocado. The Cosmopolitan
cocktail, the inspiration behind them, may no longer be as much in vogue, but
these little sausages never go out of fashion in my house! The cocktail’s
ingredients of vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice and lime are echoed in the
sausages’ marinade, which relies instead, along with the lime juice and a
splash of vodka – though strictly speaking, that splash of vodka is optional – on
marmalade and cranberry sauce, ensuring the cooked sausages come out of
the oven beautifully burnished and deliciously sticky.”
