The Cosmopolitan, or Cosmo, cocktail is a deliciously tart yet sweet fruity drink that's flavor is reminiscent of my homemade pink lemonade! That's no surprise as one of the main ingredients is cranberry juice cocktail, along with vodka, lime juice and either triple sec or Cointreau! My base recipe is here in the recipe card, but alternatives for the best cosmpolitan ever are noted above in the post!
