[RPG] Quicken a cantrip to cast it twice in a turn and also use Twinned Spell on both castings

cantripsdnd-5emetamagic

I'm currently building a monk sorcerer who uses melee spell attacks, notably the cantrip Shocking Grasp. Can I use the Quickened Spell Metamagic option to cast the spell as a bonus action and then use the Twinned Spell Metamagic option to attack an additional enemy, then use Shocking Grasp again as my action and use Twinned Spell again to attack both enemies a second time?

Best Answer

No, you can not.

The rules for Metamagic contain this line

You can use only one Metamagic option on a spell when you cast it, unless otherwise noted.

Neither the Quickened Spell nor the Twinned Spell metamagic have exceptions allowing them to be used with other metamagics, so in the absence of other features allowing you to use multiple metamagics on the same spell you can not used Twinned Spell with the same spell that you used Quickened Spell on. You can cast one Shocking Grasp as a Twinned Spell and one as a Quickened Spell though (although this is probably an inefficient use of your sorcery points).

FYI if you want to know what an exception to the metamagic rule would look like, the Empowered Spell metamagic contain this sentence:

You can use Empowered Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell.
