Wednesday, May 31, 2023: Not-Mopolitan

I developed this drink about a decade ago for a charitable cookbook.  It is a twist the classic cranberry cooler, perhaps a future post, where the orange juice takes the place of the triple sec that would be in a Cosmopolitan—making the drink a little sweeter.  You can also substitute Rose’s Sweetened Lime juice for regular lime juice to help cut through the tartness of the cranberry juice.

Not-Mopolitan

1 cup of cranberry juice

2 T of lime juice

1 T of orange juice

Crushed ice

Fill a pint glass half way with crushed ice.  Build on ice with cranberry juice, lime juice and orange juice.  Give it a quick stir with a bar spoon and garnish with a lime wedge.
