Recipe video above. A wonderful classic, elegant cocktail made famous by the ladies of Sex and the City! The key is to get the balance of each component just right so it's not too sweet, not too tart.I particularly love Cosmos because they're so quick and easy to make. Also works well to make a big jug and keep it cold in the fridge. SCALE RECIPE using slider to fit the glass/jug you're using.Be sure to use SWEETENED cranberry juice. Unsweetened (no added sugar) is too tart.
90ml/ 3 oz cranberry juice (, sweet (not unsweetened, Note 2))
2 tsp lime juice (, fresh)
Ice
Orange peel (, optional garnish)

Steph on 2022-06-12 (5 stars): I've tried different cosmopolitan recipes but this is the best one. Thanks as always, Nagi, and hopefully Dozer didn't taste test this recipe even though he'd enjoy it 😂😊
