I used Ocean Spray Cranberry Classic. 5g of sugar per 100ml, and 27% cranberry juice. The Cosmopolitan using this was delicious, perhaps a little bit on the tart side. I found it available in small 200ml cartons in a package of 3 which makes it really easy to store and use without having to buy a large bottle.

I use "Eager Naturally Sweetened Cranberry Juice Drink" with 14.1 gram sugars per 100ml. Importantly, this also contains 26% cranberry juice and 1.5% cranberry puree. Some other brands have a very low percentage of cranberry.
