Thanks for all the input. I always go with four parts vodka - I agree, Todd, I love Grey Goose, sometimes L'Orange - two parts Cointreau, 1 1/2 or sometimes two parts fresh lime juice (I have an awesome lime squeezer that my bartender friend tipped me to) and 1 1/2 parts cranberry juice. I really strongly prefer a limey cosmo but only fresh lime. That nasty Rose's stuff or sour mix doesn't cut it for me. The drink has to be cloudy because that shows the use of fresh lime juice. I am glad to see your recipe again Todd and appreciate all the info on what I should tote along for our evening cocktail on the balcony routine.
