Cosmopolitan Cocktail (Difford's recipe)
The Cosmopolitan was originally made with citrus vodka, but it's great with unflavoured vodka or a combination of the two vodkas - my preference. For this...

My favourite Cosmo recipe! The only difference is the use of citrus vodka as in „the original” recipe.

The best way is shaking the Cosmopolitan with some lemon zests, that way you have the lemon flavor aswell but it is more refreshing and taste more natural than citrus/lemon vodka.

used vanilla vodka which added a bit of sweetness

Terrific! Most certainly going to be serving next time I have guests over for dinner. Thank you!

Perfect. Everything works well together. Flavourful, but not overly sweet. A wonderful Cosmo.

A tasty cocktail. After reading the comments I added a barspoon of sugar syrup to approximate Simon’s cranberry juice.
The Cointreau really ‘sings’ in this drink.

What's the preferred option with the cranberry juice: sweetened or unsweetened? Or is it simply personal preference?

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.
