Notes
- This Cape Codder is best enjoyed immediately, so make it fresh!
- For a subtly sweeter cocktail, adjust the simple syrup to your preference before adding the club soda.
- Serve your Cape Codder in a chilled coupe or martini glass for a more elegant presentation.
- To prevent dilution, prepare the cocktail components separately and assemble just before serving.
