What is a Sea Breeze?
The Sea Breeze is a classic vodka cocktail that dates back to the 1950’s when vodka and cranberry juice first started gaining popularity in the U.S. It’s fruity, it’s pretty, it’s delicious, and it’s a staple recipe for new home-bartenders. Let’s get into it!
What does a Sea Breeze taste like?
The Sea Breeze tastes refreshing, tart and a little bittersweet thanks to the cranberry and grapefruit juices. Overall, it’s a straightforward and pleasant cocktail that anyone can enjoy.
When would you drink a Sea Breeze?
We love Sea Breezes at just about any occasion, whether it’s a house party, nightclub or just a chilled out cocktail party.
What’s the difference between a Sea Breeze and a Bay Breeze?
The Sea Breeze is made with grapefruit juice, while the Bay Breeze uses pineapple juice to bring out more exotic and sweet notes. Wanna create your own breeze? Experiment with swapping the grapefruit juice for other fruit juices or by making the drink with any of our other flavored vodkas!
What’s a Sea Breeze made of?
A classic Sea Breeze calls for three simple ingredients: grapefruit juice, cranberry juice and vodka. The drink itself is easy enough to make, but the real trick to a great Sea Breeze lies in picking the freshest high quality ingredients you can get your hands on. That means you’re gonna have to squeeze some fresh grapefruit instead of using the store-bought stuff. Trust me, the difference is mind-blowing.
Hot tip: Garnish with a lime wedge if you want the option to adjust acidity levels as you’re drinking!
How do you make a perfect Sea Breeze?
When it comes to citrus based cocktails, most bartenders will tell you to shake the drink. This will slightly aerate the drink which helps bring out the flavors and gives the drink a fluffier texture.
Hot tip: Want to take the aeration up a notch? Use a centrifuge juicer to supercharge your grapefruit juice with flavor and a fluffier-than-clouds texture. Trust us, this trick is UN-BE-LIEV-A-BLE.
