This is my version of a "Cosmopolitan" martini. I don't like them as sweet as some of the bars/restaurants make them, so I make my own "not so sweet" one. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  • Ice in cocktail shaker
  • 3 oz. vodka (I prefer Ketel One or Pearl, but any vodka will do (within reason)
  • 1/4 oz. or less Knutsen's Just Cranberry juice (it's straight - no sugar added or other juices)
  • 1/2 oz lime juice (I use Nelly Joes key lime)
  • 1/4 oz. Triple Sec liqueur (more if you like it sweeter, like I said, I like it tart!)

Directions
  1. Fill shaker with crushed ice
  2. Pour ingredients in
  3. Put lid on and hold it
  4. Shake vigorously till frost forms on outside and your hand about freezes off
  5. Remove lid and pour into frosty cocktail glass (I keep one in the freezer)
  6. Drink with extreme caution, but not too much!
