Cape Codder
Drinks • European
Description
In 1959, the U.S. Department of Health announced that fields of commercially grown cranberries were treated with toxic fertilizers: this is why the Cape Codder, invented in the late 1940s, became one of the most popular American cocktails only thirty years later.

Fill a glass for serving with crushed ice and add a dash of Angostura bitters.
Step 3
In a shaker, add ice cubes, vodka, and shake vigorously. Strain into a glass, add ice to create a mound.
