So, here is a much better modification of the Metropolitan #5, after several different takes:
2 oz. vodka
1 oz. Pomegranate liqueur
<1 oz. triple sec
1 oz. lime juice
dash Fee Brothers orange bitters
shake with ice. Serve up.
This version does several things better than my first run. First, it balances the sugar, sour, and alcohol much better than my previous version. Second, the lime juice is superior to the lemon juice in bringing out all the flavors in this drink. The bitters are a must, if only because they tie everything together and give the drink a layered complexity. Otherwise, this is just a variation of sex and the city night out kind of stuff.
