Cocktail Colin says:

5/5

The Royal Cosmopolitan gracefully elevates the classic with a bubbly twist of champagne, adding a luxurious effervescence that complements the tartness of the cranberry and lime. The lemon vodka and triple sec provide a citrusy backbone that balances the sweetness, ensuring this cocktail remains sophisticated yet spirited, perfect for a festive toast or a classy affair.

Can I substitute another spirit for the lemon vodka in a Royal Cosmopolitan?
