I gave it three stars; it was just meh. However, I should note that I made this cocktail right after trying the Monterita which is very similar (except for amaro) so I couldn’t help but compare the two and this one was flat and boring compared to the Monterita. The Monterita is very flavorful, so it was a Tough act to follow.
I have just made this with coconut nectar rather than agave syrup, and the result is outstanding. Because the coconut nectar is something my friend brought back from Fiji, we are calling this variation the Maria Teresia for a more Pasifika flavour!
I really like margaritas with cranberry juice. This is outstanding. Not sweet, but use sugar based cranberry cocktail and not the ones with corn syrup.
Great advice John. The best Cosmo I've ever had was made with pure 100% cranberry juice. Not this watered down high fructose corn syrup drivel that's so ubiquitous these days.
