Ingredients
- ⅓ Cup cranberry juice
- ⅓ Cup vodka
- ¼ Cup triple sec
- ⅛ Cup rose’s lime juice
- ¼ lime cut into two wedges

- If using Tang, place Tang on a plate, in a small pile.
- While the serving glass is still freshly rubbed with lime, dip the rim of the serving glass into the tang, covering the lime’d area.
- Squeeze the above used lime into the glass.
- Slice the remaining lime wedge halfway through the narrow part to create a garnish.
- Place unused lime wedge on glass as garnish.
Prepare the Cosmo:
- Combine cranberry juice, vodka, triple sec, and rose’s lime juice in a large martini shaker full of ice.
