N/A Cosmopolitan for Mocktail Monday
It’s just another Mocktail Monday, and we’re back with a non-alcoholic take on a Cosmopolitan. This is another great use of the triple sec we used in our N/A Blueberry Lemon Drop from last Monday. The tart cranberry and lime pair really well with the triple sec to make this one pop.
Yes, I know this one is very similar in looks and build to the Blueberry lemon drop from last week, one of the goals of this one was to reuse some of the same components that might be left over from some of our other mocktails.
Recipe: N/A Cosmopolitan
Ingredients:
1 oz cranberry juice (100% cranberry if you can)*
.75 oz N/A triple sec(we used Daily’s brand)
.75 oz lime juice
1 oz water
3 dashes Fee Brother's Orange Bitters(Original or Gin Barrel Aged)** - optional
3 Dashes El Guapo Cuban bitters - optional
Build:
In a shaker with ice, add cranberry juice, triple sec, lime juice, and water, and bitters(if using).
Shake well and strain into a coupe or martini glass.
Garnish with a lime wheel and enjoy!
Notes:
*If you can get your hands on 100% cranberry juice, we highly recommend it. Cranberry juice cocktail will work, but since it’s blended with other juices, it tends to dull the tartness that makes this one pop.
** Fee Brothers orange bitters (both the original and gin barrel-aged) are 9% ABV. However, three dashes is not enough to bring the drink anywhere close to the 0.5% ABV threshold to be considered non-alcoholic. That said, I understand everyone’s tolerances and reasons for abstaining are different, so feel free to omit if you like. It is still going to be great!
