Picture this: it’s a sun-drenched arvo and you’re hanging with friends al fresco over a lazy afternoon that will inevitably turn into evening. A gentle breeze drifts by, carrying with it the promise of something refreshing. Enter the Seabreeze – the quintessential summer cocktail that’s been making waves since at least the 1980s.
Born during the heyday of bright and easy cocktails, the Seabreeze quickly became a staple, thanks to its simple yet refreshing mix of just three ingredients. With every sip, the tartness of cranberry juice dances with the zesty notes of pink grapefruit, all lifted by the smooth kick of vodka. It’s a flavour combo almost as refreshing as a quick dip in the sea.
What makes the Seabreeze so popular is its effortless charm. It’s not just a drink; it’s an experience. Served in a fun, tall glass and garnished with a lime wedge, it looks as striking as a summer sunset. The balance of sweet and sour will keep you coming back for more, and its minimal ingredients mean you can whip one up super quick.
Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just after a no-fuss refresher, the Seabreeze is the perfect drink for warmer weather. Ideal for celebratory soirées or just lounging on the balcony, this is a quintessential summer cocktail that never goes out of style.
