For the Christmas Cranberry Cosmopolitan you need:
8 cl of Vodka, plain or lemon flavoured
4 cl Cointreau

The juice of one lime
A handful of ice, about 100 ml
A handful of fresh cranberries, about 100 ml (or dried cranberries that have been soaked in water for a couple of hours or over night)
Optional, 1/2 a teaspoon of raw, brown sugar.
This is how you make the Christmas Cranberry Cosmopolitan:
Add Vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice, lime, ice and fresh cranberries to a mixer.
If you like your cocktails a bit sweeter, add half a teaspoon of brown sugar.

Pour the cocktail into glasses and let the ice rise to the top.
Serve directly and enjoy the flavours of Christmas together with friends and family.
