  • 1 1/2 fluid ounces cranberry juice

Directions

  1. Pour all the ingredients into a shaker with lots of ice. Shake vigorously for several seconds and strain into a cocktail glass.

    Oh how I love a good Cosmo. I'll be honest and say I've rarely made them at home, and I don't have a good reason why I haven't. They are so easy. Love this recipe, you have inspired me to make a cosmo. I think I just need a bottle of cointreau. Thanks for sharing!!

      This recipe is really good. So Friday evening is my night to have a Cosmo. Also in my humble opinion one must use fresh lime and not the lime that comes in the plastic container that looks like a lime--yikes!

      Yeah, I never got those plastic "fruit shaped" lemon and lime containers either, yuck. Why not just get a fresh one and squeeze it? It takes like 30 seconds extra, ha.
