Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces vodka (see note 1)
  • 6 ounces grapefruit juice (see note 2)
  • 2 ounces cranberry juice cocktail (see note 3)
  • lime wedge optional, to garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Fill a tall glass (such as a Collins glass) with ice. Add vodka and grapefruit juice and stir to combine. Top with cranberry juice and garnish with a lime wedge.

Notes

  • Vodka: Use a fruity flavored vodka if you want to try something different.
  • Grapefruit juice: Squeeze it fresh or use store-bought.
  • Cranberry juice: Substitute 100% cranberry juice for the cranberry juice cocktail if desired. Your drink will be less sweet overall and will lack the bright pink color.
  • Yield: This recipe makes one cocktail.
  • Make ahead: Choose convenience over the beautiful gradient in an individual drink by mixing up a large batch of cocktails in advance. For 4 drinks, combine 6 ounces vodka, 24 ounces grapefruit juice, and 8 ounces cranberry juice cocktail. Chill until serving time.
  • Foamy: For a little "sea foam" on top of your cocktail, add the vodka, grapefruit juice, and cranberry juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until icy cold, about 30 seconds. Pour into a glass with ice and garnish with a lime wedge.
  • November Sea Breeze: A Sea Breeze Mocktail without the vodka.
  • Winter Sea Breeze: Substitute gin for the vodka.
  • Cape Codder: The original vodka-cranberry cocktail. Pour 2 ounces vodka and 4 ounces cranberry juice over ice, then garnish with a lime wedge.
  • Bay Breeze: Substitute pineapple juice for the cranberry juice (also known as a Hawaiian Sea Breeze).
  • Ocean Breeze: Add 1 ounce pineapple juice to the recipe below.
