Notes
Try one of these variations on this recipe:Change the juice: You can play with other kinds of juice to make your own combinations. Use a mixture like cranberry-pomegranate, or another fruity juice like I do in this Guava Cosmopolitan.Make it a mocktail: If you want to try a non-alcoholic Cosmo, you can emulate the vodka flavor with a non-alcoholic spirit like Seedlip Garden 108. You can also omit the alcohol and just add a smidge more cranberry juice. For the orange liqueur, you can use a splash of orange juice or a non-alcoholic orange liqueur like Lyre's Orange Sec.
