Autumn/Winter Breeze

Autumn/Winter Breeze

How It's Done

Ingredients

The dry ingredients give a wonderful freshness to this classic summer cocktail. Some say a Sea Breeze is a Cape Cod with grapefruit juice, some say it’s a Greyhound with cranberry juice. A Greyhound is a vodka and grapefruit juice; adding a salt rim makes it a Salty Dog.

Glass: 12 oz Collins/Tall

2 lime wedges
2 oz vodka
2 oz cranberry juice
2 oz Apple juice

Method

Put the ice into a mixing glass and squeeze one piece of lime into the glass. Add the vodka, cranberry and grapefruit juices, and cap with a Boston shaker. Shake vigorously for a few seconds and pour into a Collins glass. Squeeze the second lime wedge into the glass, rub around the rim and discard.

You can also add the cranberry juice to an ice-filled Collins glass. Place the remaining ingredients in a Boston shaker, shake for a few seconds then pour carefully over the cranberry, creating a white layer over the red.

Garnish

Garnish with a fresh piece of lime.
