COCKTAIL RECIPE
Sea Breeze
Sea Breeze is a fresh and light cocktail made with vodka, grapefruit juice and cranberry juice. Thanks to the balance of sweet and sour flavors, it is a refreshing drink especially preferred on hot days.
The Sea Breeze cocktail is a drink that originated in the 1920s but really gained popularity in the 1970s and 1980s. During this period, cranberry juice producers started promoting different cocktail recipes to increase the use of the juice. Thanks to these campaigns, Sea Breeze started to spread rapidly on bar menus.
The cocktail has become especially popular in coastal areas and summer vacation destinations in America. Thanks to its light, fruity and refreshing nature, it has become an indispensable drink in beach bars. The name "Sea Breeze" refers to this fresh and summery character.
“Sometimes all one needs is a little breeze to cool the soul.”
The Sea Breeze has become a classic among vodka-based long-drink cocktails. Although it is often associated with similar recipes such as Greyhound and Cape Cod, the combination of cranberry and grapefruit gives the drink a distinctive balance of flavors. Today, it is still a popular choice among summer cocktails.
