Cape Codder is an American cocktail originating from Cape Cod peninsula, hence the name. It is made with a combination of vodka and cranberry juice. To prepare it, the ingredients are mixed with ice in a highball glass, and the cocktail is then garnished with a lime wedge. It is believed that the drink was invented in 1945 by the cranberry grower’s cooperative called Ocean Spray. The original name of the cocktail was Red Devil, but the name Cape Codder has been used since the early 1960s.
