If ChatGBT Were Your Bartender

Today's ChatGBT Bartender choice is the Sea Breeze!

The Sea Breeze cocktail is a popular mixed drink that originated in the United States. Its history can be traced back to the mid-20th century, specifically the 1950s and 1960s. The exact origins of the Sea Breeze are not well-documented, but it is believed to have been created as a variation of the classic cocktail known as the Cape Codder.

The Cape Codder, also called the Cape Cod, is a simple combination of vodka and cranberry juice. The addition of grapefruit juice to this mixture gave birth to the Sea Breeze. The cocktail gained popularity during the post-World War II era when grapefruit juice became more readily available and affordable.

The Sea Breeze gained further recognition and popularity in the 1970s when the Ocean Spray cranberry juice brand heavily marketed the cocktail. By promoting the Sea Breeze as a refreshing and easy-to-make drink, Ocean Spray helped it become a staple in bars and restaurants across the United States.

Over time, the Sea Breeze has undergone some variations. Some recipes call for the addition of a splash of lime juice or grenadine syrup to enhance the flavor profile. However, the classic Sea Breeze recipe typically consists of vodka, cranberry juice, and grapefruit juice, garnished with a slice of lime or grapefruit.

Today, the Sea Breeze remains a popular choice among cocktail enthusiasts and is often associated with summer and beach-themed occasions. It is known for its vibrant color and refreshing taste, making it a favorite for those looking for a fruity and tangy mixed drink.
