Low Calorie Cosmopolitan Drink
To make this homemade cosmopolitan cocktail low calorie I used unsweetened cranberry juice. You can also use light or sugar free cranberry juice to make it low calorie.
Make sure you choose a no sugar added lemon vodka, otherwise it will increase the calories. I like Absolut Citron to make this recipe. There is no sugar added, and it is the traditional vodka to use anyway!
