Gimme!

I heart the Cape Codder.



It's pretty (the paper umbrella is for you, Alan), not too sweet, crisp, clean, New Englandy. All good stuff. And it was delightful after an evening of football and Tex-Mex at El Patio (best queso on the planet).



Here's What You Need to Make a Cape Codder:


  • Highball glass filled with ice
  • 1 1/2 oz vodka
  • Cranberry juice
  • Slice of lime for garnish

Here's How Anne Made It:
Mix the vodka and the cranberry juice in the glass (not necessarily a highball glass). Instead of a lime garnish, I added a splash of lime juice ... and a paper umbrella for Alan.


Manly or Girly? Neutral
Appearance: Cranberry and cool
Consistency: Liquid
Taste: Slightly tart. The addition of some lime juice was splendid!
Stomach acceptance: The stomach welcomed the Cape Codder with open ... um, well, not arms, but you know what I mean. Stomach needed a break from cream
Good drink for: Drinking on the patio, overlooking a large body of water
Hangover factor: Not too bad
Would I actually order this in public? Yes, please!


Tomorrow's Assignment: Cosmopolitan
Homework for tonight:
  • Shaker with ice
  • 1 oz Vodka
  • 1 oz Orange Liqueurs or Cointreau
  • Cranberry juice
  • Rock glass
