Christmas Cosmopolitan
A brandy-based Cosmo with a hint of mellow warming Christmasy spice

Much bettter than a vodka based Cosmo (IMO). Nice light pink color. Lime juice is prominent and maybe too much (perhaps 7.5 - 10 ml instead), with nice smooth backbone of cognac and Cointreau - this doesn't present as boozy at all. Barely any impact from the falernum (I used Taylor's Velvet) - maybe boost to 15 ml to get some seasonal spice.
