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
