I made this but with a redcurrant syrup (homemade of course) in lieu of the cranberry and it turned out absolutely delicious. Added both a punchier flavour aswell as some welcome sweetness.

Took several fine suggestions from this discussion (bison grass vodka, lemon twist ), and my own modifications; I got a free bottle of standardized cranberry extract that is intended to prevent UTIs😜
It is sweetened with glycerin, so I skipped the orange liqueur and made up the flavor with orange bitters and the booze with extra bison grass vodka.
Delicious, and very refreshing on a hot day with 92% humidity

Picture the scene - it's a muggy day and pollen is rampant. You're back from a training run and what sort of cocktail do you want (once you've properly rehydrated of course)? This one. Clean, well balanced and rinses all of the pollen off the back of your throat. I've always like this particular Cosmopolitan recipe, but never more so than today.

+For vodka, used 1.25 shots of unflavored vodka (Absolut - my goto).
+Used pure (unsweetened) cranberry juice and added a little bit of sugar (honey - my goto sugar).
+Used Cointreau instead of De Kuyper.
-Did not add any salt.
+After pouring into the coupe glass, added four drops of orange bitters and expressed lemon peel and droped in the drink.
Very tasty.

Made with 30ml vodka, 40ml cranberry, 25ml lemon, 10ml dry curacao with a recipe from a cocktail school. Taste alright

I use pomegranate juice and if it needs sweetening, a little sugar syrup can be added to balance. Better than the dryness of cranberry.

Didn't have any citrus infused vodkas, so I upped the standard vodka to an ounce and used ~1/4 to 1/2 oz of Italicus. Splendid result.

Very nice. I substituted Cointreau for triple sec and Kettle One Orange for cintron. Nice balance and flavor. Nice to see my favorite vodka Silver Tree, vastly under appreciated !!

Not a fan. I find this version too sweet and to dilute. I think 45:15:30:10 ml are better proportions.

This is all to-taste, but your specs are one of my faves.

Never was a big fan if the “cosmos” that I’d had before. This recipe makes a refreshing and balanced cocktail. Now a reliable, go-to beverage. Thanks!
