15 ml triple sec (such as Cointreau)
30 ml cranberry juice
15 ml freshly squeezed lime juice
Ice cubes
Lime wheel or twist (for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice to chill the ingredients thoroughly.
Add vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and lime juice to the shaker.

Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass for that elegant presentation.
Garnish with a lime wheel or a twist of lime peel, and your Cosmopolitan is ready to serve.
Pro Tips
Opt for high-quality vodka and triple sec to enhance the cocktail's flavor profile.
Freshly squeezed lime juice is key; it brings a natural tartness that bottled alternatives can't replicate.
For a more balanced sweetness, adjust the cranberry juice to your taste.
Chill your martini glass in the freezer beforehand to keep the cocktail refreshingly cool.
