The cosmo is a classic—especially for the single ladies (seriously, have you ever seen an episode of ‘Sex and the City’?). You can pre-mix these puppies and have them on hand to serving to a room of lovely girlfriends. They’re totally lightweight, but brimming with the red promise of love—made with cranberry infused vodka, sparkling water, Cointreau—and, of course, pomegranate!
2 ounces cranberry-infused vodka
1 ounce Cointreau liqueur
1 cup ice
sparkling water, splash (optional)
lemon, a squeeze (optional)
Directions:
Shake ingredients in a shaker and strain into chilled martini glasses.
