Steps:
- Place all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake until the granita melts completely. Pour into a martini glass and serve immediately.
- Place the water, cranberries and sugar into a small saucepan, set over medium-high heat and simmer until the berries begin to pop, approximately 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Puree with a stick blender, blender or food processor, for 1 minute. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer directly into a metal 13 by 9-inch pan. Do not press on the skins. Simply allow the juice to drip through the strainer. Add the zest and stir to combine. Place in the freezer until set, at least 6 hours and up to overnight. Once frozen, scrape the mixture with a fork to create a shaved ice texture. Serve immediately.

AN ADAPTABLE COSMOPOLITAN COCKTAIL
In case you couldn't help but wonder, this more refined Cosmopolitan is not a robust red but a dusty pink, deeply chilled, and walks the line between sweet and sour. You can even shed the notion that it must be served in a martini glass, and serve it in a coupe or smaller cocktail glass instead. Whatever your vessel, tuck it in the freezer for about 10 minutes to properly chill before pouring.

Steps:
- Set coupe glass or other cocktail glass in the freezer to chill for 10 minutes.
- In a shaker, combine the vodka, cranberry juice cocktail, orange liqueur and lime juice. Add ice and shake until very well chilled.
- Strain cocktail into chilled glass. Garnish with lime wedge or lemon twist, if desired.
Tips:
- To make the perfect Tropical Mist Cosmo, start by chilling all your ingredients, including the vodka, cranberry juice, and lime juice. This will help to create a refreshing and flavorful cocktail. - Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch, but it won't have the same bright, citrusy flavor as fresh lime juice. - If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Simply add all of the ingredients to the jar, seal it, and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds. - Garnish your Tropical Mist Cosmo with a lime wedge or a twist of lime peel. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your cocktail.Conclusion:
The Tropical Mist Cosmo is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and tropical cocktail, give the Tropical Mist Cosmo a try!
