The Sea Breeze is a refreshing, no-fuss cocktail that highlights the bright acidity of citrus and berry. It starts with a clean vodka base, which is then balanced by the deep, tangy notes of cranberry juice and the zesty punch of grapefruit. Served over ice in a highball glass, it offers a crisp, thirst-quenching profile that is easy to sip. The addition of an orange zest and cherry garnish adds a final touch of aroma and visual appeal, making it a perfect choice for a light, fruity drink.
