A drink most know well; The Cape Cod

The mini heat wave that just passed had me reaching for something light and refreshing.   Everyone enjoys a strong cocktail now and then but there are occasions where a lighter, fruit forward mixed drinks fit the bill a little better. The drink put under glass this week is a common, familiar drink to most seasoned drinkers. While there are several names for the drink, a credible backstory on its origins have yet to be found. As the temperature rises please join me for a Cape Cod, Cape Codder or a vodka cranberry.

Proper proportions will vary depending upon personal tastes.

4 parts cranberry juice/cranberry cocktail

1 part vodka

Garnish with cranberries or a lime wedge.
