Okay, so this is a little pedestrian, but there are a couple small tweaks that can take a regular cosmo to a new level. If your bartender gives you one that looks like regular cranberry juice go to a new bar.

Here is what you need:

• Citrus Vodka – Ketel One Citrus is my favorite, or Absolut Citron. Grey goose doesn’t even make their own vodka so I stay far away from that stuff. Good marketing though.
• Grand Marnier or Cointreau – If you are on a budget triple sec will work but not ideally.
• Cranberry Juice – Knudsons is good if you can find it. Just don’t get the diet stuff.
• A Lime – Cut into 6 wedges.

Here’s the recipe:

• 2 ½ oz Citrus Vodka
• ¾ oz Grand Marnier
• ¾ oz Cranberry Juice
• 1 wedge of lime

How:

• Fill your shaker with ice
• Add all the liquid
• Squeeze the lime wedge into shaker
• Shake
• Shake
• Shake
• Shake
• Shake
• Okay, pour into martini glass

If you are feeling fancy put a lemon peel in there.

Enjoy!
