DIFFICULTY
The Cosmo earned its place at every upscale cocktail hour for a reason — it looks stunning in a coupe, it’s pink without being cloying, and citron vodka gives it a brightness that holds up over an evening of sipping.
INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 oz citron vodka (or premium vodka)
- 1 oz cranberry juice
- 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
- 0.5 oz triple sec
- Lime wheel or orange twist for garnish
- Ice
HOW WE MAKE IT
Chill a coupe or martini glass.
Add vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice, and triple sec to a shaker with ice.
Shake hard for 10–15 seconds.
Double-strain into the chilled coupe.
Garnish with a lime wheel or flamed orange twist.

White Cosmo (swap cranberry for white cranberry juice), Raspberry Cosmo (muddle raspberries first), or a batch pour for cocktail hours at large events.
Bartender's Secret
Pro tip: Shake hard enough to get a tiny ice shard layer on top — that little frozen cap is what separates a coupe-worthy Cosmo from a warm one.
