The Bay Breeze belongs to the family of Breeze cocktails and is the tropical variation of the Sea Breeze. Instead of grapefruit juice, pineapple juice is used here, making the drink sweeter and fruitier. The combination of vodka, cranberry and pineapple juice makes for a refreshing longdrink with a Caribbean feel.

Instructions

  1. Fill the highball glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour the vodka over the ice.
  3. Top up with cranberry juice.
  4. Add the pineapple juice.
  5. Stir briefly and garnish with lime or a piece of pineapple.

Garnish: A lime wedge or a piece of pineapple

Pro tip: Shake the drink briefly with the pineapple juice and you get a slightly foamy crown that makes the Bay Breeze especially creamy.
