J and I dined at Dharma Cafe a few weeks back. Between the seared pepper crusted ahi tuna steak drizzled with Szechwan vinaigrette and my lobster ravioli [the pasta is hand made!], we left anxiously anticipating our next visit. And to make it even better, they were offering a drink special using cranberries available from the local market. Their own version of a Cape Cod, the Cape Fear.I've since made the cocktail a number of times for family and friends and with each drink served, I get the same response, "it's so refreshing!" The Cape Fear is just that. Refreshing, light, sparkly and the fresh cranberries are perfect for a spirited holiday libation.

Muddle orange and cranberries in bottom of highball to release fruit flavors.

I tasted Court's at Thanksgiving & she is so right; this is a GREAT cocktail! I did indeed comment on how refreshing it is, but the cranberries & the lovely color they bring to the drink definitely make it an excellent holiday spirit for your holiday spirit! Thanks for sharing Court!
