1.5 oz Citrus vodka
1 oz Cointreau
.5 oz Fresh lime juice
1 or 2 dashes Cranberry juice
Garnish: Lime wedge
Glass: Cocktail

PREPARATION:
Add all the ingredients to a shaker and fill with ice. Shake, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a flamed orange peel or lime wedge.

Learn more about the history of the Cosmopolitan from Liquor.com advisor Gary Regan.
