Cocktail Description

Imagine a sunset over the ocean distilled into a glass—that's the vivid, tropical allure of the Sunny Passion Cape Codder.

This refreshing twist on the classic Cape Codder balances smooth Ketel One vodka with the exotic tang of Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur, while cranberry provides a tart backbone and fresh orange juice adds bright citrus notes. The result is a perfectly balanced cocktail that's simultaneously fruity, tart, and subtly sweet, with the passion fruit adding complexity that elevates it beyond ordinary cranberry vodka drinks. Simple enough for cocktail beginners to master in minutes, it's an ideal choice for summer gatherings, poolside lounging, or whenever you need a taste of the tropics. The tall Collins presentation, topped with a ruby-red Luxardo cherry, makes it as visually appealing as it is delicious. Pair this versatile sipper with spicy fish tacos, coconut shrimp, or grilled chicken for a meal that complements the cocktail's tropical profile without overwhelming its nuanced flavors.
