Cranberries are one of only three fruits native to North America (along with blueberries and Concord grapes). They were so valued by Native Americans that they used them as currency in trade with European settlers, calling them 'ibimi' meaning bitter berry.

Born from the health-conscious movement of the 1990s when mocktails started getting serious about flavor. Cape Cod cranberry growers partnered with wellness enthusiasts to create something that tasted indulgent but kept your New Year's resolutions intact.
