Cosmopolitan with Finger Limes

One of my favorite drinks is a Cosmopolitan.  I usually make it with orange flavored vodka which gives it more aromatic qualities.  I made this one with the Australian Finger Limes I ordered in the mail from Stanley Farms.  The cool thing about finger limes is that the flesh inside looks like caviar size pearls.  The aroma is like lime but has a strange floral aspect.  Once in a while you can get purplish colored fruit and the inside pearls will be pink.
Some chefs are using these pearls on top of oysters, sushi, in drinks and desserts.
I used them to rim the Cosmo glass and also used the juice in the drink.  It made for a really nice variation.
