- 0.5 oz lime juice

Notes
Pro Tips
- For a more pronounced citrus note, add a twist of lime peel alongside the cranberry garnish.
- Chill your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving to keep the drink colder for longer.
- Use white cranberry juice for a clean, clear appearance; regular cranberry juice will change the color.
Tasting Notes
The White Cosmo is light and refreshing, with the Lillet Blanc adding a floral, slightly herbal note that complements the tartness of lime and white cranberry juice. The touch of triple sec rounds out the flavors with subtle orange undertones, creating a crisp and elegant sip.
