Catch a Bay Breeze: Refreshing Cocktail Recipe

The Bay Breeze is a tropical escape in a glass, perfect for poolside lounging or a summer evening. This easy-to-make cocktail combines the tang of cranberry juice with the sweetness of pineapple juice, all balanced by vodka for a delightful and refreshing drink.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ ounces vodka
• 3 ounces pineapple juice
• 3 ounces cranberry juice
• Lime wedge (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. You'll need a highball glass, ice, a shaker (optional), and a bar spoon (optional).
2. Fill the highball glass with ice cubes. Swirl the ice around the glass for a few seconds, then discard the water to ensure a chilled glass.
3. If you prefer a frothier drink, combine the vodka, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice in a shaker filled with ice. Shake well for 10-15 seconds.
4. If you don't mind a less frothy version, simply add the vodka, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice directly to the ice-filled highball glass.
5. Using a bar spoon (or simply a straw), gently stir the ingredients to combine. Garnish with a lime wedge and enjoy your Bay Breeze!

Tips:

• Adjust the proportions of pineapple and cranberry juice to your taste preference. If you prefer a sweeter drink, use more pineapple juice. For a tarter version, add more cranberry juice.
• For a more vibrant color, use fresh pineapple juice.
• Get creative with garnishes! You can also use a maraschino cherry, a pineapple wedge, or a mint sprig.
