Cosmopolitans

what is the recipe for this cocktail? I read that it has lime juice in it - is that fresh lime or lime cordial, like you'd put in lager? Thanks!

5 ounces White Cranberry Juice Cocktail
2 ounces citrus-flavored vodka
1/2 ounce sweetened lime juice
Lime twist, garnish

Do not, whatever you do, use lime cordial in a Cosmopolitan!!! ;-)

Hope you enjoy it, its my favourite.

yeah, I didn't think it would be lime cordial, but the book I have is kinda confusing. I though lime juice would be too sour. Thanks, here's to a good night!

I stand to be corrected, but I believe the original recipe DID call for lime cordial (the Cosmo being a modern classic).

Can't tell you which I prefer though, It's a bit of a girls drink and so I've never ordered one in a bar!
