A little more dressy than the working-class vodka cranberry. The cosmopolitan is just that, a little sip of sophistication (and a throw-back to the “Sex and the City” girls).

Use Cointreau instead of Triple sec; use no soda, and jack up the amount of cranberry juice to 2/3 the volume of vodka. That’s a Cosmo!

3/4 oz lime juice 3/4 oz triple sec or Cointreau 1/2 oz lime juice 2 oz vodka Drinks are made by bartenders, not cooks.

I changed nothing, and the drinks were cheerful and refreshing.

Who measures cocktails in table spoons?! Please update app with ounces converter in cocktail recipes.

Tangy and refreshing! Weird that they used tablespoons instead of ounces though.

If you are looking for a non-alcoholic and low calorie version of a Cosmo, replace the vodka with Seedlip Grove 42 and replace the Triple sec with Sugar Free Triple Sec flavored syrup. The only calories are from the Cranberry Juice and it looks and feels like a real cosmo for those times when you want to stay sober.
