IBA ContemporaryClassic

O Sea Breeze é um refrescante coquetel de verão onde o vodka, o suco de cranberry e o suco de toranja se harmonizam. Como indica seu nome, tão fresco e revigorante quanto a brisa do mar, a cor do cranberry vermelho e da toranja amarela se combinam lindamente para criar um sabor agridoce.

History & Origins

The Sea Breeze originated in the United States during the 1920s in a form quite different from today's recipe, originally made with gin and grenadine. The modern version using vodka, cranberry, and grapefruit juice emerged in the 1970s and became a signature of American bars and beach resorts during the 1980s, partly driven by Ocean Spray's cranberry juice marketing campaigns. The IBA classifies it as a Contemporary Classic.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Tart cranberry and fresh grapefruit with a clean vodka backbone and a lime zest note from the garnish. Palate: Crisp and refreshing, with tart cranberry juice dominant and grapefruit adding a bitter citrus edge; vodka provides a clean alcoholic foundation without competing with the juices. Finish: Dry, tart, and refreshing with lingering grapefruit bitterness.

Pro Tip

Squeeze the lime wedge garnish into the drink just before sipping to add a bright citrus accent that elevates the grapefruit and cranberry notes.
