Christmas Cosmo

The weekend before last, while in New York and Hoboken we celebrated Nicole's birthday and housewarming all at once while giving it a Christmas theme. We attempted (or shall I say, I attempted) rather unsuccessfully to throw together a Christmasy cocktail that was roughly based on a cosmo/cranberry vodka. I decided to work with this challenge and actually perfect the drink...for next time ;) Its really simple, I stuck with a basic cosmo recipe and added pomegranate to give it a seasonal flavor. 

You'll need :

[1] Regular vodka

[2] Triple Sec

[3] Cranberry Juice or Cranberry Pomegranate juice

[4] Whole lime

[5] Fresh pomegranates 

To make one drink :

[1] 1 part vodka

[2] 1 part Triple Sec

[3] 2 parts Cranberry

[4] Lime juice - half a lime squeezed 

[5] Combine over ice in shaker and shake vigorously 

[6] Pour over fresh pomegranates 

[7] Garnish with lime wedges

Happy cocktail-ing and holiday partying :)
