Sea Breeze
Cranberry’s tartness meets grapefruit’s bright bitterness, balanced by vodka’s clean neutrality. The mix pours quickly, requiring only ice and a quick stir, making it ideal for a no‑fuss evening drink. With three simple ingredients measured in ounces, you can assemble the cocktail in under two minutes. The highball glass showcases the vivid red hue, while the lime wedge adds a fragrant citrus finish. Grab the bottles, fill the glass, and enjoy a refreshing sip tonight.
