For a sweeter Cosmopolitan, add a splash of simple syrup or a few drops of agave nectar to the shaker. Experiment with flavored vodkas, such as citrus or raspberry, to add a unique twist to the classic recipe. If you don't have Cointreau, you can substitute it with another orange liqueur like triple sec or Grand Marnier. Freshly squeezed lime juice is essential for the best flavor. Avoid using bottled lime juice. To make a non-alcoholic version, replace the vodka with club soda or sparkling water, and adjust the cranberry juice to taste.
