A change from the boring Vodka Tonic or ordinary Vodka Martini.\u00a0 Try a Cape Cod. The name refers to\u00a0Cape Cod,\u00a0Massachusetts, a\u00a0peninsula and popular tourist destination located in the eastern\u00a0United States\u00a0which is famous for growing cranberries.\u00a0 A Cape Cod is made with\u00a0vodka\u00a0and\u00a0cranberry juice, and may be garnished with a\u00a0lime\u00a0wedge.\u00a0The Cape Codder is related to a number of other vodka cocktails which replace the cranberry juice with another juice.\u00a0This drink was conceived in 1945 by the\u00a0Ocean Spray\u00a0cranberry grower’s cooperative under the name “Red Devil” in\u00a0Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The “Cape Codder” name dates from the early 1960s.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Cape Cod (or Cape Codder) is one of the easiest mixed drinks that you will find. There is no mystery to it and nothing special about it: it is quite simply vodka and cranberry. Despite its simplicity, it is a great tasting drink and a\u00a0perfect choice for\u00a0happy hour\u00a0or anytime you simply want a fruity, refreshing cocktail.\u00a0 This is also one of the few times that the ingredients (particularly the vodka) do not really matter. Cranberry juice has a heavy flavor and it will disguise almost any impurities that are in the vodka, so go ahead and use the\u00a0budget-friendly brands. The fact that it’s a\u00a0cheap drink\u00a0to make at home\u00a0is just one more benefit to the Cape Cod.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
