to the above the Cosmo is : The Cosmopolitan is usually served in a large cocktail glass, also called a martini glass. For this reason, the drink is mistakenly categorized as a type of martini. (Photo Credit: TheCulinaryGeek/Flickr )

Mix 3 parts citrus vodka, 2 parts cranberry juice, 1 part triple sec, 1 part lime juice. Cointreau or other high-quality triple sec provides a cleaner taste than cheaper triple sec, and is generally substituted in the cosmopolitan. The cranberry mainly adds colour and should not excessively dilute the drink.

A lemon twist is sometimes used to garnish. Traditionally, a coin sized piece of orange should be “flamed” across the top of the drink. This coats the drink with a slick of citrus oil. Currently, it is popular to see a Cosmopolitan garnished with a lime wedge.
per the International Bar Tenders Association

Popular vote on the vodka/cranberry is that its called just that a Vodka/Cranberry and you can substitute the name of your favorite vodka A Cape Cod is made with vodka and cranberry juice, and may be garnished with a lime wedge. Proportions vary, with sources giving a recommended vodka-to-juice ratio of 1/4, 1/3.7,1/2and 1/1.5,while other sources don’t recommend precise proportions.] Some sources recommend lime juice instead of a lime wedge garnish.

To both guys above…A cosmopolitan is vodka, lime juice, and triple sec, with a splash of cranberry, DUH!! And a cape Cod is a vodka cran with or without a lime!!! If someone orders just a vodka cran I still add a lime. I have been a bartender 8 years now…I know my stuff, I will be serving about 80-100 of those tonight… Hope this helps!

It is called a Cape Codder.Add grapefruit juice to the mix and it is then a Sea Breeze. In this case the garnish does not change the name of the drink like it does with a rum and coke, add lime wedge and then it becomes a Cuba Libra. Also to the guy above a cosmopolitan contains vodka triple sec lime juice and a splash of cranberry juice stir and strain served with a lime twist or wedge.

It doesn’t have a name. It’s a voka cran.– to the guy above me, a cosmopolitan is absolute critron and cranberry shaken and strained into a martini glass and garnished with a lemon peel.
