Notes
*1 ounce = 2 tablespoons
**If you have it, use citron vodka for the most authentic Cosmo. In our tests we found it was just as tasty to use standard vodka with lemon juice, so you don’t have to buy another type of vodka.
***If all you can find is sweetened cranberry juice, omit the simple syrup.
