There's no cocktail as tangy and satisfying as a Sea Breeze Cocktail. This is an elevated twist on the classic pairing of vodka and cranberry juice, as it has the grapefruit twist. Though today we know it as a vodka cocktail, apparently the Sea Breeze began as a gin and grenadine cocktail during the Prohibition Era, and was still a gin-based drink even in the 1930s, when apricot brandy and lemon juice were added to the ingredients list. Then, at some point in the 1950s, Ocean Spray decided to really push its cranberry juice as a mixer for alcoholic drinks. The rest is history!

Fresh is best, so if you can squeeze your grapefruit juice yourself, it will make for a lighter and more flavourful sea breeze drink.
