Cocktail cranberry juice is almost always Ocean Spray — sweetened cranberry juice cocktail rather than unsweetened pure juice. That sweetened version is what the Cosmopolitan recipe assumes. Unsweetened cranberry is painfully tart and typically requires additional sweetener to balance.
Common uses
Cosmopolitan, Cape Codder, Sea Breeze.
