Description

The Cape Cod Cooler is a wonderfully refreshing vodka cocktail that brings together the bright, fruity character of cranberry juice, the sharpness of fresh lime and the smooth, clean taste of Absolut Original Swedish Vodka.

Inspired by the classic Cape Codder cocktail, this variation introduces a splash of lemonade or soda water for a light, sparkling finish.

At the heart of the cocktail is Absolut Original Swedish Vodka, produced in Sweden and celebrated for its smooth character and versatility. Its clean profile provides the ideal foundation for the vibrant flavours of cranberry and citrus.

Cranberry juice delivers a distinctive fruity tartness and beautiful ruby-red colour, while freshly squeezed lime juice adds a lively citrus lift. A splash of lemonade introduces gentle sweetness, or choose soda water for a drier, crisper finish.

Served tall over plenty of ice and finished with a fresh lime wedge, the Cape Cod Cooler is simple to prepare, attractive in the glass and wonderfully refreshing.

Whether you’re entertaining friends, enjoying a summer gathering or preparing a relaxed evening drink, this is a cocktail that proves simplicity can be every bit as satisfying as complexity.
