ifeelthecosmos: Michiru Hoshino (Katamari Damacy mocktail)

Ingredients:
2 oz White cranberry juice
1/2 oz Sour mix
1 splash Ginger ale

Directions: Shake all ingredients with ice, garnish with a maraschino cherry. 

A note from the creator:

This mocktail is essentially a virgin cosmopolitan, to feel this drink a bit more simply omit the ginger ale in favor of a splash of the cranberry juice, and add 1 1/2 oz of Citron vodka and 1/2 oz of Cointreau.

1 - 2 tsp Espresso
2 Dashes Angostura bitters

A note from the creator:

A riff on the classic Blood and Sand cocktail. I recommend an extremely robust espresso brew to help cut the sweetness of this cocktail.
