Cosmonot

If you’re a fan of the vodka-based Cosmopolitan and don’t want to cut out its delightfully sour presence while you’re expecting, this citrus-packed but booze-free take on the drink from the bar team at Gramercy Tavern hits all the right notes. “The Cosmonot is not necessarily a mirror of the original Cosmopolitan, but it is citrusy, tart, a little red-berry fruity and not overly sweet,” says Tinelli. “That could all be said of the Cosmopolitan.” It blends muddled orange, lemons and limes with grape juice and grenadine. What you end up with is a complex mocktail that looks and tastes darn good—something anyone shunning liquor will appreciate.
