Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker with ice, add the vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice and lime juice.
  • Shake until the shaker feels very cold in your hands or 10-15 seconds.
  • Strain into a martini glass or coupe glass and garnish with an orange peel.

Notes

  • Chilled Cocktail Glass A chilled cocktail glass elevates any cocktail. Place your glass in the freezer for 30 minutes to 2 hours before you serve your drink.
  • Simple Syrup If this recipe is too stiff for you try adding half an ounce to one ounce of simple syrup before shaking.
  • White Cosmo A popular variation of the cosmo is the White Cosmo. Swap St-Germain in place of orange liqueur to try make your own.
