Channel Your Inner Carrie Bradshaw with a Virgin Cosmopolitan

For those who crave a touch of glamour without the alcohol, the Virgin Cosmopolitan is the answer. This dazzling mocktail captures the essence of its boozy counterpart, the Cosmopolitan, offering a burst of tart cranberry flavor balanced by refreshing citrus and a touch of sweetness.

To complement the cranberry's tartness, a squeeze of fresh lime juice adds a touch of brightness. Non-alcoholic Cointreau, a substitute for the traditional orange liqueur, brings in a hint of orange citrus, creating a delightful complexity. White grape juice rounds out the flavor profile with a touch of sweetness, mimicking the natural sugars found in alcoholic beverages.
