A chick variation for Tequilla lovers:

This recipe includes silver tequila instead of the traditional citrus vodka making it nonetheless delicious!
…But is it still a Cosmo or is it just Cosmo?
(Post your comments)
Also called The White Cosmo, although it sounds more like a

Cosmolicious Tequilla or a
 Tequilla Cosmo, perhaps…
MexiCosmo?


Ingredients:


1 oz Silver tequila
1/2 oz triple sec
2 1/2 ounce white cranberry juice
Squeeze lime

Preparation:

Pour all ingredients over ice into shaker.
Shake vigorously and strain into chilled martini glass.
Garnish with a lime wheel.
