Ingredients

32 ounce WHITE cranberry juice
2 cups cranberry vodka *see note below
1 cup lime simple syrup *see note below
¾ cup Cointreau
fresh rosemary and cranberries for garnish

Instructions

Make your own lime simple syrup! (It's easy and worth the effort!)
Grab 3-4 small limes and, using a veggie peeler or sharp knife, peel the skin off each lime. Squeeze the juice into a saucepan and toss the limes in. Add 2 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar. (Use less sugar if you want your drink less sweet.) Simmer over low-medium heat for 10 minutes, strain and allow to fully cool in the fridge.
Add all ingredients to a pitcher with ice and mix.
*If not serving right away, wait to add the ice!
Add fresh rosemary sprigs, lime slices and cranberries for garnish.
Serve chilled in martini glass, coupe glass or in a tall clear pitcher for guests to serve themselves.

Notes

Yield: About 12 (4 oz.) drinks.

Prefer a LESS sweet cosmo? You can either use regular vodka OR nix the simple syrup and use 1 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice instead.

Notes*

I like to make this in an elegant drink pitcher to allow guests to help themselves.
Making your own lime simple syrup is 100% worth the effort! The color will be more clear than the store-bought brands and flavor much better.
Dip the rim of your martini glass in water and then sugar for a "snowy" frosted look.
Chill your glasses for an extra cold cosmopolitan.
White cranberry juice can be found at Walmart, off Amazon or some other grocery stores near the red cranberry juice,
