The Sea Breeze is a crisp and fruity cocktail that became popular in the 1980s, though its origins trace back to the Prohibition era. Initially created in the 1920s using gin and grenadine, the modern version evolved in the late 20th century when vodka-based drinks surged in popularity.

This drink is simple yet vibrant, blending vodka with tart cranberry juice and fresh grapefruit juice. Its name evokes the feeling of a cool ocean breeze, making it a perfect summer cocktail. The balance of sweet and tart flavours makes it easy to drink and widely enjoyed.
