If you like a strong martini and you like pomegranate than this is your go-to drink!
As a previous reviewer rightly wrote, however, a key "ingredient" in enjoying this alcoholic beverage is to remember it's a serious martini----not punch (although it does pack a good one!. I used the Trader Joe's pomegranate juice and Triple Sec (Cointreau is just too expensive for my wallet and Absolute vodka. Freeze your glasses in advance, garnish with a lime slice and then get prepared to party hardy (with a designated driver.

This is my go to recipe for cosmopolitans. I use cranberry juice most of the time but during the holidays I love using the pomegranate juice. This is the only cosmo recipe you need. A note to those that think it is too strong - duh, its mostly alcohol. I like my drinks strong, not too sweet but with plenty of flavor - this is it. Thanks again Ina!

I have made this drink at several parties & it continues to be a show stopper! The flavors & color lead to great socializing whenever friends are gathered. So easy to make & impresses all who partake! Cheers to all!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Just delicious! My girlfriends and I loved these cosmos and made 2 batches. Some did find them a bit strong so we adjusted the 2nd batch, otherwise they were a big hit!
