Equipment

cocktail shaker

Ingredients

2 oz vodka
1 oz limoncello
2 oz cranberry juice
grenadine to taste (optional)

Garnish

1 teaspoon sugar for the rim
3 fresh cranberries
1 lemon peel

Instructions

Create your lemon twist. See instructions above or watch the video to see how.
Sugar the rim. Once you're make your lemon twist, take the leftover flesh of the lemon and use that to rub onto the rim of your cosmo glass in order to make it sticky.
Pour sugar onto a flat plate then dip the lemon-rubbed rim of the glass into the sugar until the rim is coated in sugar.
Mix cocktail. Add vodka, limoncello, and cranberry juice to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake.
Optional: If you prefer a sweeter cosmo, add a splash of grenadine to the mix.
Serve. Strain mixture into your sugar-rimmed glass and garnish by floating fresh cranberries in the drink, then rest the lemon twist on the edge of your glass.
Sip and enjoy!

Notes

You can stir in grenadine after you taste your cocktail if you aren't sure how sweet you want it. Whisk it in with a fork or a swizzle stick.
