I can't recommend this Cosmopolitan enough, not only for it's crisp taste, but it's so beautiful. Double and serve in a punch bowl for the holiday season with an ice ring embedded with cranberries. Thanks to my sister-in-law turning me onto this beautiful drink from Victoria Classics Holiday Bliss. (Note: The original recipe calls for gin but can sub vodka.)
