Lots Of Sea Breeze Recipes Blowing In The Wind<\/h2>\n

The Seabreeze cocktail is a three ingredient drink made with vodka, cranberry juice and grapefruit juice. At least the modern version is and its that mixture that is used in today\u2019s International Bartender\u2019s Association Official cocktail recipe.<\/p>\n

History<\/h2>\n

This cocktail originated in the 1920s and has gone through significant changes along the way to become a completely different drink. Starting out as a gin based punch in a 1922 citation, the Savoy Cocktail Book<\/a> then lists their Sea Breeze Cooler as gin, apricot brandy, grenadine and lemon juice in 1930.<\/p>\n

In Classic Summer Cocktails<\/a> (2001), Salvatore Calabreze describes a Seabreeze recipe which came later containing vodka, dry vermouth, Galliano and blue Curacao. We have been unable to find any other references to that version as of this writing.<\/p>\n

However, both the Titanic and the Gale At Sea are prepared using those same four ingredients and the recipes are identical as well. Origins unknown. Several others were found too with different names and different recipes, but the information was inconsistent, seemed questionable and couldn\u2019t be corroborated so they have been omitted. Used a combination name for the recipe since there seems to be no agreed upon standard.<\/p>\n

Cranberries In The Breeze Brings About A Sea Change<\/h2>\n

At least you can see a progression with Planter\u2019s Punch as its recipe evolves<\/a> that sort of makes some sense. Not so here, until you know a little bit more history about the Seabreeze and cranberries in particular.<\/p>\n

In 1959, the U.S. Department of Health warned that parts of the cranberry crop had been tainted with dangerous herbicides which caused the industry to collapse as consumer demand plummeted among the fears. Seeking to recover and diversify the uses for cranberries, Ocean Spray, which started as the grower\u2019s cooperative, launched a blend of cranberry juice and vodka they bottled and sold as \u201cSea Breeze.\u201d This eventually became the modern classic most people know and love once grapefruit juice was added to the mix as a cocktail recipe.<\/p>\n
