Cosmopolitan
Read Reviews >
The best thing about the cosmopolitan is that it is extremely well constructed. Although it's a far cry from the martini, the balance of flavors that comes from mixing the tart lime juice, the semisweet cranberry juice cocktail and the sweet triple sec, and the extra dimension the citrus-flavored vodka adds, is sensational.

Light and fruity
Heavy on citrus favors, this mild cocktail is perfect for summer evenings ... Or when dreaming of summer of evenings. Light on the waistline too.
