The Cape Cod Cosmo
Vodka, cranberry, fresh lime & Cointreau with a sugared rim
A nod to the Kennedy compound's coastal glamour
The Story
The Kennedys epitomized American glamour, and their Cape Cod compound became synonymous with elegant entertaining. Jackie Kennedy's White House cocktail parties set a new standard for sophistication. The Cape Cod cocktail — vodka and cranberry — was already a New England staple, but this elevated Cosmopolitan version adds the Cointreau and fresh citrus that the Kennedy era demanded. Every sip is a toast to Camelot.
