　　This is an especially refreshing take on the cosmopolitan cocktail. You can batch the cosmo mix up to 10 hours in advance to cut down on last-minute fuss at your next cocktail-worthy occasion. (If you’d like to mix it together earlier than that, add the lime juice at the last minute.) To retain maximum fizz, pour the chilled club soda and sparkling wine into each ice-filled glass first—then you don’t need to rigorously stir to mix the bubbles into the heavier cocktail base. This recipe makes enough cosmo mix for 12 drinks; you’ll need one bottle of sparkling wine for the full batch. Pick bubbles you like to drink on their own—a high-quality cava works fine. We like this holiday-appropriate spritz with a store-bought cranberry juice that’s gently sweetened with apple, grape, or other fruit juices.
