What if I told you that I could take your Cosmo from good to iconic? The secret ingredients in this mocktail are…*drum roll, please!*
Cherry bark vanilla bitters and orange bitters.
This. Is. A. Game. Changer.
While the Cosmo has that wonderful cranberry tartness, the addition of these bitters mellows out the tartness while also adding the heavenly combination of vanilla, orange, cherry, and other woodsy herbs! Yum!
Carrie Bradshaw, eat your heart out!

Notes
*You can also make this into a regular cocktail by adding 2 oz. Tito’s vodka. Still delish! **Just a warning, if you are entirely abstaining from alcohol, there is a trace amount of alcohol in the bitters. This alcohol functions much like the alcohol that’s in vanilla extract.
