Cosmo

Cosmo-Arbor (Pointer Cocktail)

This recipe comes from Aunt Linda - it's a traditional drink at Martini Mist, the beautiful home in Winter Harbor, Maine, that she and Uncle Bruce so lovingly tend and share with family. I usually use a naturally sweetened (with other juices) cranberry juice cocktail. For a tangier version, try using 100% cranberry juice, unsweetened, then substitute more Rose's for the freshly squeezed lime juice. 

1-2 shots cranberry juice (1 C)
1 1/2 shots citron Absolute (3/4 C)
1/4 shot Rose's sweetened lime juice (1/8 C)
1/4 shot freshly squeezed lime juice (1/8 C)
1 shot triple sec (1/2 C)
