Bay Breeze

Description

The Bay Breeze pairs tart cranberry with an equal measure of softer pineapple juice. Vodka leaves the fruit to set the balance, with pineapple taking the sharpest edge off the cranberry. It’s a good choice after a Cape Codder when you want the same berry flavour with a tropical middle.

Ingredients

  • 50 ml Vodka
  • 60 ml Cranberry Juice
  • 60 ml Pineapple juice
  • Ice
  • Lemon twist

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon – Used to stir the drink smoothly with ice before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink.

Instructions

  1. Add the liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds until the drink is properly chilled.
  3. Fine strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice or served straight up.
  4. Garnish to echo the main flavour and serve immediately.
