If you know me, you know that a Cosmo is my ride-or-die drink 🍹. If you’ve never had the pleasure of meeting “Cosmo Sneji” (as my friends like to call me), well…..you’re missing out. I don’t know what it is about a Cosmopolitan drink, but it unlocks my fun, carefree side, and makes me think I’m auditioning for Dancing with the Stars as soon as the beat drops 💃. Is it the 1.5 ounces of vodka? Maybe. But it could also be the fact that this cocktail is so fresh, fruity and dangerously delicious that it goes down like water 💦. I used to think Cosmopolitan martinis were reserved for nights out, but once I whipped one up at home and put my own little twist on it, I realized just how simple and fool-proof they are to make.

Get ready to sip on pure ☀️ sunshine with this vibrant and fruity drink that will make you feel like you’re on vacation , minus the sand in all the places. Cheers to easy, breezy cocktail magic!

Why You’ll Love This Cosmopolitan Drink

This isn’t your average Cosmo – it’s a fruity, flirty glow-up that tastes like a tropical vacation in a glass 🍸. Peach Cîroc brings smooth, juicy vibes that pair perfectly with the citrusy brightness of triple sec and lime juice . A splash of cranberry-raspberry juice adds just the right amount of tartness, while the guava juice 🧃 delivers a sweet, summery twist.

I usually make these as I go, but if you like to plan ahead for a party, you can certainly prep this ahead and just add the 🧊 ice before guests arrive. Whether you’re out to wow your friends or just leveling up your average Tuesday, this drink delivers tropical party vibes with every sip 🌴.

Delicious and refreshing! A must try for sure! – RW

Ingredients

🍑 Peach Cîroc : adds a juicy, smooth kick that makes you feel like you’re sipping poolside—even if you’re just in your kitchen.

🍋‍🟩 Triple sec + lime juice : bring that classic citrusy zing that keeps it bright and refreshing.

🍸 Cranberry-raspberry juice : gives it that signature pink hue with a hint of tart sass. We love a little drama.

🧃 Guava juice : is the unexpected MVP, adding a sweet, island vibe that ties everything together like a vacation in a glass.

Nonna’s Tip 🍸

To make this a mocktail , use your favorite non-alcoholic varieties, or add more juice and sparkling water instead.

Common Questions

Pineapple juice, mango juice, or passion fruit juice are great substitutes if guava juice isn’t available. They’ll keep the tropical vibe of the cocktail.

Yes, you certainly can! Simply substitute the alcohol with your favorite non-alcoholic varieties, or add more juice and sparkling water instead of the liquors.

If you want to make a big pitcher of this ahead of time follow all the steps and don’t add the ice or shake until the last minute, just before you serve.

While a shaker is ideal for mixing and chilling the ingredients, you can also use a stainless steel tumbler or any cup with a lid as long as it closes securely.
