Tips
- Rose's Lime Juice is sweeter than fresh lime juice, so you might want to adjust the amounts according to taste. Experiment with different ratios to get the perfect balance!

Enrichment:While traditional Cosmopolitan recipes usually call for fresh lime juice, you can add a twist with Rose's Lime Juice, a pre-made lime concentrate with sugar and preservatives that may affect the flavor slightly. In this guide, learn how to make a Cosmopolitan with Rose's Lime Juice:
- Ingredients:
- Citrus-flavored vodka (e.g., Absolut Citron or Grey Goose)
- Triple sec or Cointreau (possible replacements: other orange liqueurs like Grand Marnier)
- Unsweetened cranberry juice (adjust to taste)
- Rose's Lime Juice (adjust based on sweetness and tartness preference)
- Citrus peel for garnish (like lemon twist or orange peel)
- Instructions:
- Prepare your shaker by filling it with ice.
- Pour in the vodka, triple sec or Cointreau, cranberry juice, and Rose's Lime Juice.
- Shake it like a polaroid picture for 10 to 15 seconds.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with a citrus peel ( options: lemon twist, orange peel). If using lemon, feel free to express its oils over the drink before twisting to add more citrus flavor.
Notes:- Since Rose's Lime Juice is sweeter, you may need to adjust other ingredients (like using less sweetened cranberry juice) to balance the sweetness.- Play around with the proportions to tailor the taste to your liking! Enjoy this modern twist on the Cosmopolitan!
