I can't recommend this Cosmopolitan enough, not only for it's crisp taste, but it's so beautiful. Double and serve in a punch bowl for the holiday season with an ice ring embedded with cranberries. Thanks to my sister-in-law turning me onto this beautiful drink from Victoria Classics Holiday Bliss. (Note: The original recipe calls for gin but can sub vodka.)

I call this a cosmopolitan because it does have the elements of that classic drink. However, it is just a great holiday drink, so call it what you wish. Served them last night, while watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas... the original. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.
