What Is the Best Vodka for a Cosmo? While purists will insist on a lemon-accented citron vodka such as Absolut Citron (and I recommend as much), there are more than a few ways to approach the cosmopolitan. The citrus accents to the vodka are somewhat key, however, unless you want to add lemon juice on your own.

So pour yourself a glass, garnish with a few cranberries on a toothpick, and enjoy a Skinnygirl® Cosmo without worrying about spills – or calories.

A common rule of thumb is to shake if there's citrus, stir if there's not. If the co*cktail ingredients are mostly, or entirely, spirits (such as in a Manhattan, Martini or Negroni), you should stir. If a co*cktail includes juice (such as in a Margarita, Daiquiri or Cosmo), you should shake.

It's Essentially a Margarita

Made with vodka, fresh lime juice, Cointreau and cranberry juice, the Cosmopolitan is essentially the love child of a Margarita and a Vodka Cran. If you're a devoted fan of either co*cktail—especially the Margarita—you should give the Cosmopolitan another try.
