The Cape Cod is a classic cocktail that originated in the Cape Cod region of Massachusetts, United States. Its popularity is due to its refreshing taste and easy preparation, which has made it a favorite beverage at social gatherings and informal events. In several Latin American countries, this drink is commonly known as "Vodka with cranberry juice" or simply "Cranberry cocktail," although its original name refers to its place of creation.
This cocktail reflects the simplicity and freshness of the ingredients used in the region, utilizing cranberries, a typical fruit of the area. Despite its name, the drink does not contain any ingredients from seawater; rather, it is a balanced mix of vodka, cranberry juice, and a touch of lime that provides freshness and acidity.
