Virgin Cosmopolitan Cocktail Recipe

The traditional recipe for a cosmopolitan call for the following mixture of ingredients:

• 2 oz. vodka
• 1 oz. cointreau
• 3/4 ounce of lime juice
• 1 oz. cranberry juice

Try this recipe if you would like to keep the calories under 20 and remove the effects of alcohol:

• 3 oz. of diet tonic water
• 1 oz. of freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 oz. of light cranberry juice (my preference is Ocean Spray light)
• 1/2 oz. of orange juice

Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with large ice cubes and shake vigorously. Pour strained into a chilled martini glass. If you like it a bit sweeter, sweeten to taste with splenda artificial sweetner.
