When I went to the liquor store to pick up some citron vodka for this drink, the lady at the checkout asked what I was making with it - margarita? Cosmopolitan? When I confirmed it was a cosmopolitan, she told me: "I don't need to card you then. If you know what a cosmo is, you're old enough to drink." I'm not sure how I feel about essentially being called old, but I'm 100% okay with making up a couple of glasses of this delicious concoction.
Note: If you like yours a little sweeter, use the higher amount of cranberry juice.
