Winter Sea Breeze

Description

The Winter Sea Breeze takes the familiar cranberry-grapefruit profile and deepens it with blood orange. Vodka keeps the base clean, cranberry gives tart red fruit, grapefruit adds bitterness and blood orange brings a richer, colder-weather citrus note.

It is still recognisably a Sea Breeze, just darker and more seasonal. Serve it tall over ice when you want something easy and refreshing that feels a little more grown-up than the usual summer version.
