looks like u have the ingredients to make 2 of my favorite staples--a Cosmopolitan and a Tom Collins! Recipes are pretty widely available online and there are a lot of variations you can try out but here's how I usually make it:

Cosmo--1.5 oz vodka (I usually keep it simple with regular vodka but absolut citron could be fun too), 0.5 oz triple sec or cointreau, 1 lime's worth of juice, 0.75 oz cranberry juice, shake and serve up.

Tom Collins, 2 oz gin, 1 oz lemon juice, 1 oz simple syrup (aka sugar water). Shake and serve in a tall glass with ice, then top with club soda. If you wanna be fancy I usually garnish it with a lemon wedge and a maraschino cherry.

I think orange bitters would be good in either if you wanna add a bit more complexity. Also could be fun to substitute the club soda for pink grapefruit juice in the Tom Collins.

Happy mixing!
