This drink was conceived in 1945 by the Ocean Spray cranberry grower's cooperative under the name "Red Devil" on Cape Cod, Massachusetts."With cranberry juice he adds vodka and a dash of fresh lime and comes up with a "Red Devil Cocktail."" (Ocean Spray's Cranberry Cooperative News: Volumes 6-10 by Cranberry Canners, Inc., 1945) The "Cape Codder" name dates from the early 1960s."Let the jolly innkeeper refresh you (and your lady) with America's newest cocktail creation— The Cape Codder." (The New Yorker, 1965)
