Ingredients
Vodka. Just use plain vodka for this one! I typically have Smirnoff or Tito's stocked on my home bar.
Triple Sec. You can use triple sec or any other orange liquor, like Cointreau.
Lime Juice. Fresh is always best! I love using this citrus squeezer for cocktails.
Cranberry Juice. Be sure to use cranberry juice cocktail for this recipe!
Prosecco. Just a splash of your favorite prosecco, or any dry sparkling white wine, will do the trick!
How to make Christmas Cosmopolitan

- Add ice and shake vigorously.
- Strain into a martini glass.
- Top with a splash of prosecco, and enjoy!
Substitutions and variations
Pomegranate Juice. You can always sub out the cranberry juice cocktail for pomegranate juice! It's similar in color and still tastes plenty festive.
Flavored Vodka. If you'd like, you can always use a citrus vodka if you want to add a bit more zing.
Soda Water. If you don't love prosecco, you can still get that bubbly effect by adding a splash!
Orange Juice. If you don't have lime juice, you can add a splash of orange juice!
