The Cape Codder is a timeless vodka cocktail, built on the refreshing blend of vodka and cranberry juice. It’s clean, fruity, and easy to enjoy year-round — though it’s especially popular during warm summer evenings or holiday gatherings when cranberry flavors shine.
This cocktail emerged in the 1940s, originally promoted by Ocean Spray as a way to market cranberry juice cocktails. It quickly became popular across the United States, especially in New England, where cranberries are a regional staple. Its name pays homage to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, known for cranberry bogs and coastal charm.
The Cape Codder’s simplicity and refreshing flavor have made it a Hollywood favorite at pool parties and red-carpet after-parties alike. Known fans include Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Lawrence, who enjoy its balance of light sweetness and tartness without the heaviness of cream or syrups.
Because the Cape Codder is such a simple cocktail, vodka quality makes all the difference. Illadelph Organic Vodka provides the ultra-smooth, clean base that lets the cranberry juice shine without any harsh notes. USDA-certified organic, gluten-free, and kosher, Illadelph makes this two-ingredient classic stand out.
When you want pure, refreshing simplicity, make your Cape Codder with Illadelph Vodka and taste the difference.
