Sea Breeze Cocktail Recipe
I love a refreshing Sea Breeze cocktail on a warm day. It's a perfect blend of fruity flavors and just the right amount of zing, making it a favorite for many.
Equipment
- A shaker is essential to blend the ingredients well.
- I always use a jigger to measure out the vodka, cranberry, and grapefruit juices precisely.
- A strainer helps pour the drink neatly into a glass,
- A highball glass works best for serving. 🍹
- A stirrer is handy to give it a final mix before I add a lime wedge to finish.
- Having a good ice maker is also beneficial to keep everything chilled.
Ingredients
Here's what you need to make a Sea Breeze cocktail:
- 1 1/2 ounces vodka
- 3 ounces cranberry juice
- 1 ounce grapefruit juice
- I also like to keep some lime wedges on hand for garnish and a nice citrus aroma.
Make sure to use freshly squeezed juices if possible. The taste is always better when the grapefruit and cranberry are fresh.
Instructions
Here's how to make it:
- Fill a shaker with ice. I like using a lot to keep the drink really cold.
- Measure and pour the vodka, cranberry juice, and grapefruit juice into the shaker.
- Shake well for about 15 seconds to mix thoroughly.
- Strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice.
- Garnish with a lime wedge.
These steps are quick, allowing me to focus on enjoying the delicious cocktail.
Notes
To personalize your Sea Breeze, try different juice ratios to highlight flavors. Sometimes I prefer more cranberry for sweetness or extra grapefruit for tang.
Adding a splash of soda water is nice for a bit of fizz. Also, using a premium vodka can make a noticeable difference in taste.
