Helpful tips

• Since the sea breeze has only three ingredients, each one plays a pivotal role. For the best flavor, use high-quality vodka and fresh juices.
• Serving any drink in a chilled glass enhances the refreshing experience. Place your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before preparing the drink.
• Fill your glass with plenty of ice before mixing the drink. This keeps it cool and dilutes the cocktail to the perfect strength as you sip. I use large ice cubes because they melt more slowly.
• A few pieces of peeled grapefruit are a great garnish. You can also add a slice of lime or a twist of grapefruit peel. This adds a touch of elegance and a hint of extra flavor.
• Mix the cocktail fresh rather than making a large batch in advance for the best taste. This maintains the vibrant flavors and perfect balance.
• For a less sweet, more tart cocktail, opt for unsweetened 100% cranberry juice. A cranberry juice cocktail works well for a sweeter drink.
• For a more intense taste, use my homemade grapefruit-infused Grapefruit Infused Vodka.
• Depending on your preference and the occasion, this cocktail can be served in a highball glass, a double old-fashioned glass, or a stemless wine glass.
• You can build this cocktail in the glass, but I prefer a shaker.
