I love adding extra garnishes to my drinks both for taste and the “pretty” factor, especially when serving them up for a summer soiree! Typically, it’s garnished with a lime wedge but you could use a grapefruit wedge as well. Include a few jiggers for mixing and let your guests go to town!īack to this delicious, summery drink! A Sea Breeze is made of three ingredients vodka, cranberry juice, and grapefruit juice. Display glasses and fruit garnishes as well as a few stirrer spoons. Display out carafes of your fruit juices like cranberry, grapefruit, pineapple etc. Who doesn’t love a cocktail bar? If you have a side table or bar cart, gather all the ingredients you’ll need and a big ice bucket of ice. It’s also delicious, so I highly recommend trying them both or setting up a festive little drink bar at your next party! Set up a Cocktail Bar Cart

You might remember when I shared how to make a Bay Breeze Cocktail, the “sister” drink to this Sea Breeze. I love to create unique twists on classic cocktails, but every once in a while, I want to share a basic go-to drink recipe with you! When it comes to mixed drinks, this one is easy and delicious, just how I like it! It’s very easy to make and perfect for summer entertaining. It’s cocktail time around these parts! I’m excited to get back to the basics of cocktails and share a recipe for a classic Sea Breeze drink. Stir to incorporate.Fruity, tart and sweet all at the same time, this Sea Breeze cocktail is made from a delicious mix of grapefruit juice, cranberry juice and vodka! You can also leave out the vodka for a delicious mocktail!

Pour the rum, grapefruit juice, and grenadine into a lowball glass filled with ice. I like buying these little grapefruit juice cans because I never go through a giganto bottle before it goes bad.Īs always, let me know if you try this cocktail by tagging me on Instagram and using the hashtag #girlandtonic.Ĭheers to another easy 4-ingredient cocktail! Ingredients for a Sea Monster Cocktail Fresh is still definitely better, but I really don’t mind going pre-squeezed. But I make an exception for grapefruit juice. Bottled lemon juice and lime juice taste worlds different than their fresh counterparts. If you’ve been around Girl & Tonic for a while, you know I always tell everyone to use fresh citrus juice. The ginger brings a spicy kick and the grapefruit and grenadine combo make it fruity without being too sweet. The base is spiced rum (Kraken is my favorite), then ginger beer, grapefruit juice, and grenadine. If you’re a fan of a Dark & Stormy, then you’ll probably love this Sea Monster cocktail.

I went back to the Pin that I saved all those years ago and that person said they got it from the “cute lil lady over at Sweet Toothed” but alas, Sweet no longer exists. I would love to give credit to the original creator of the Sea Monster cocktail, but I can’t. If you ain’t about to make your own, this stuff is a superb option.

It’s also colored with vegetable juice (yay for no red dye!), non-GMO, and has no high fructose corn syrup. Unlike Rose’s, it’s not too sweet and it actually tastes like pomegranate. It’s alright if it’s what you can find, but I’m officially here for the Barsmith grenadine. While we’re on the subject of grenadine, I’ll give a shout out to the one seen in the pictures. It’s a fun nod back to my early cocktail-making days.

We made this drink several times together back then and on the rare occasion that I have grapefruit juice around, I’ll make one. I mean, teeny tiny freeze-dried shrimpies that come to life by adding water and require little-to-no care? Sign me up. I’ve bought a couple kits in my lifetime and wouldn’t mind having them again. Or is it?… No, no it’s definitely a Sea Monster. In fact, I still think of it as a Sea Monkey and have to remind myself that that’s not the real name of this drink. Once I accidentally called this drink a “Sea Monkey” and we’ve joked about it ever since. Aren’t those glasses gorgeous? They belong to my friend and they’re my favorite ever.
