The Cosmo Kramer aka The Veggie Mom's Cosmo

Sometimes you want a Cosmo, but your find that little bottle in the back of the cabinet is Grand Marnier and not Cointreau (come one those little bottle really look alike). So, you have to find some other way to infuse lime flavor into your drink. I figured that this was not a classic Cosmo, so it must surely be a Cosmo Kramer.

Serves 2:

3 ounces vodka
2 ounces lime juice
2 ounces simple syrup
4 ounces cranberry juice
ice
lime for garnish

1. Combine the vodka, lime juice, simple syrup, cranberry juice and ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake until the shaker is nice and cold. Using your cocktail strainer pour into the prepared glass (for this recipe the glass need only be standing still).
