It is believed that the drink was invented in 1945 by the cranberry grower's cooperative called Ocean Spray. The original name of the cocktail was Red Devil, but the name Cape Codder has been used since the early 1960s.
The original Cuban daiquiri—as invented by Jennings Stockton Cox in the port town of Daiquiri, and later perfected in Havana by El Maragato at the Hotel Plaza and Constantino Ribalaigua Vert at Floridita—called for white Cuban rum. And that is the style of rum that makes the drink taste best.
