DRINK ESSENTIALS: CHRISTMAS COSMOPOLITAN
I call this a cosmopolitan because it does have the elements of that classic drink. However, it is just a great holiday drink, so call it what you wish. Served them last night, while watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas... the original. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart and juicy flavor that is perfect for this cocktail. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Make sure your cranberry juice is unsweetened. Sweetened cranberry juice will make your cocktail too sweet.
- Use a good quality vodka. A good quality vodka will give your cocktail a smooth and clean flavor. If you're not sure which vodka to use, ask your local liquor store for a recommendation.
- Don't over-shake your cocktail. Over-shaking will make your cocktail cloudy and dilute the flavors.
- Garnish your cocktail with a lime wedge or a twist of orange peel. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your drink.
Conclusion:
The Christmas Cosmopolitan is a delicious and festive cocktail that is perfect for any holiday party. It is easy to make and can be customized to your taste. So next time you're looking for a festive cocktail, give the Christmas Cosmopolitan a try.
