Best Cosmo Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love to have a pitcher of these in the fridge when my girlfriends come over for book club. They are easy to prepare and... everyone raves about these, even my manly soldier husband. I make these the night before my guests arrive and just pour as they walk thru the door.Read more

great crowd pleaser
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make a pitcher of these every time we have a party and put in the fridge ahead of time. Makes it really easy to serve and... mingle at the same time. Usually add more juice or ice, as most may not want a drink this strong. A nice fruity cocktail that is not too sweet. Read more

Tastes mostly like vodka, not so much like a cosmo
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

My husband and I are usually big fans of cosmos, but in our opinion this recipe just didn't taste like one. As others... mentioned it is WAY too strong. The recipe is off balance and definitely needs to be adjusted. I'd try equal parts of vodka and pomegranate juice and keep the rest of the recipe as is. It absolutely must be served ice cold.Read more

WAKE UP, PEOPLE!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Clearly those who are complaining that the drinks are too strong, do not know that a cosmopolitan is a MARTINI. It is... SUPPOSED to be strong. I love making these with pomegranate juice, though I think straight pom juice is a little bitter. I like, as another reviewer suggested, to use a blend such as pomegranate blueberry. As with any martini, enjoy in moderation, but certainly enjoy! Read more

Very good, but very strong
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love cosmos and have made many different types. This one is definitely strong, but the flavors are good. I've made it with... Triple Sec also, and it still works. Cranberry juice works as well, if you don't have any pomegranate juice on hand. I did add a bit more juice--without doing too much damage to the drink's balance--and it worked for me. Just don't plan on doing any driving!Read more
