Yum, this is what I'm in the mood for today.

That time is rolling around again. Cocktail hour and I'm sipping on a vodka cranberry.

The recipe also known as the Cape Cod is a simple one and doesn't require much preparation.

I like to make mine in the following ratios

25% vodka and 75% cranberry juice.

If you're feeling fancy you can top if off with a lime wedge. Ice or no ice might be a matter of taste. For me, no ice as I don't want it to dilute the drink.

This drink was conceived in 1945 by the Ocean Spray cranberry grower's cooperative under the name "Red Devil" in Cape Cod, Massachusetts

A great way for cranberry growers to sell a bit more of their product. Cranberry juice can run the gamut in taste. Some are bitter while others are mixed with sugar to provide a more sweet taste. I like both and keep a bottle of each so that I may choose what I want when the mood strikes.

Cheers!
