For a smoother Cosmopolitan, use freshly squeezed lime juice instead of bottled. The taste difference is remarkable. Adjust the amount of cranberry juice to suit your sweetness preference. Some prefer a tarter Cosmo, while others enjoy a sweeter version. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a tightly sealed mason jar. Ensure it's well-sealed before shaking! Experiment with flavored vodkas, such as citrus or raspberry, to add a unique twist to your Cosmopolitan. A flamed orange peel adds a beautiful aromatic element. To flame, express the oils from the orange peel over a lit match or lighter, and then drop the peel into the glass.
