Healthy Cosmo Recipe

Why is our Cosmo healthy?

Besides the obvious lack of alcohol, this Cosmo packs a healthy punch with red and white cranberry juices (opt for the unsweetened brands). Cranberry, often revered for it's aid in preventing and overcoming urinary tract infections, has more antioxidants than grapes, and has been shown to be helpful in preventing certain cancers and reducing the risk of heart disease. Now that's something to toast to!
