Right now, my favorite cocktail is a dry martini (Bombay Sapphire), straight-up with a twist. It’s been my favorite for quite a while now and I don’t see it changing in the future. But I do love a good cosmopolitan every once in a while.
Vodka has been tested my Monash as being low-FODMAP. However, it should be noted that alcohol is a gut irritant. So even though it’s low in FODMAPs, it still might upset the belly. See my note below the recipe for how to make a non-alcohol version of this classic cocktail.
That being said, I hope you are able to enjoy this fruity and refreshing cocktail. It’s perfect for summer!

Notes
Please note that although vodka is low-FODMAP, alcohol can be a gut irritant. To make a non-alcohol version of this cocktail, omit the vodka and add a splash of sparkling water instead (after shaking and pouring into the glass).
That sounds like a delicious drink! Definitely, want to give this a try. cheers!
