The Cape Codder (or Cape Cod cocktail) is simply the more official–and cute–name for a vodka-cranberry. It’s a simple, classic cocktail that can be ordered in any bar and is one of our faves as far as  2-ingredient-cocktails go.

And no tools necessary for this drink! Simply pour vodka and cranberry juice into a glass and serve. If you want to go the extra mile (like we so often do) you can add a splash of lime juice and garnish with a lime wedge. Not only does the acid from the lime juice brighten up the drink, but we think red and green are pretty gorgeous together.

Tried making this tried and true classic? Let us know how it came out in the comments below!
