A great success at my bar! It is a classy, sweet alternative to the Cosmopolitan, while still retaining the tartness of the original. The name usually gets laughs when someone yells out: 'Can I get a witness?'

It was nice...a little too sweet for me and the triple sec overpowered everything. If I made it again I would definitely decrease the triple sec--maybe use add'l fresh squeezed lime juice. Use freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice--it really ramps up the 'fresh' flavor! Read More
