Here’s a variation on the “Cosmo” Cosmopolitan cocktail using grape juice as the mixer. It doesn’t sound particularly sophisticated but it does add a brighter, stronger flavour than the standard cranberry juice. 

In a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice, add 50ml Stoli vodka (or Absolut Citron will do nicely), 25ml Cointreau, 25ml grape juice, and the juice of ½ a lime. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled, Martini glass. Add a twist of lime as a garnish.
