Drink Essentials: Christmas Cosmopolitan image

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.

This cosmopolitan was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes sweeter cocktails.

This cosmopolitan is a bit too strong for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes stronger cocktails.

I'm not usually a fan of cosmopolitans, but this one was really good. The rosemary syrup added a nice touch.
