Notes
- I prefer a top-shelf plain vodka like Grey Goose. Some people will push hard for citron vodka in a Cosmo, so feel free to try that version too if you like, with no other changes to the recipe.
- If you like, you can batch this cocktail for a party. Up to three hours in advance, pour into a pitcher: 1 ½ cups vodka, ¾ cup Cointreau, ¾ cup freshly squeezed lime juice, and ½ cup cranberry juice cocktail. Give it a good stir and refrigerate. When ready to serve, pour into glasses and garnish individually.
