Cosmopolitan Cocktail

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 oz. Citron Vodka (regular Vodka also works)
• 2 oz. 100% Cranberry Juice (do not use sweetened, see note below)
• 1 oz. Cointreau
• 1 oz. Lemon Juice (omit this if using Citron – Citrus – Vodka, see note below)
• 1 teaspoon Simple Syrup
• 1 Lime Wedge (for garnish, optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Add vodka, cranberry juice, Cointreau, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a shaker with ice.
2. Shake 15 seconds until cold.
3. Strain into a martini glass.
4. Squeeze the lime wedge over the glass and serve, garnished with a lime wedge, if desired.

NOTE: If you only have sweetened Cranberry Juice, omit the Simple Syrup.

NOTE: If you don’t have Citrus Vodka, use regular Vodka and the Lemon Juice from the list above. If you use Citrus Vodka, the extra Lemon Juice is not necessary – unless you want this drink more lemony.

Cheers!
