Sometimes, you just want a fancy cocktail to celebrate the little things in life, but you don’t necessarily want to go out on the town. This easy to make cocktails is just fancy enough to check all those boxes. A Country Cosmo Cocktail doesn’t require anything extra special to make, and sips real smooth. You can make it by the glass or make a pitcher to share with your family and friends for an easy night in.

Lime and cranberry is such a great combo. You get the zing of the cranberry juice with the tang of the lime juice that makes for a very refreshing beverage. I like to use Agave Syrup as opposed to simple syrup but either will work.
Substitutes and Variations:
If you don’t care for vodka, you can use tequila or rum. Though I am typically a whiskey and bourbon drinker, I would not suggest it as a substitute in this drink. You can also omit the liquor all together and make this a mocktail. I prefer real cranberry juice, but you can use a cranberry cocktail blend – like cranapple or cranberry and blood orange.
Suggestions for Sides:
This is a great summer or fall beverage, so it’s good with a backyard BBQ or on game day. You can also serve it up at a classy bridal shower alongside your appetizers and finger foods.
Tools that may make this recipe easier:
The only real tool you will need is a measured shot glass. I like to use one thay measures for one and two ounces.
