Ingredients

Method

Fill a highball with ice. Pour vodka. Top with pineapple juice and cranberry juice. Stir.

The Bay Breeze emerged in the mid-1980s as a tropical variation of the Sea Breeze, using pineapple juice in place of grapefruit. It belongs to the vodka-cranberry family that grew out of Ocean Spray's cranberry juice marketing (the Sea Breeze, created in the 1960s, was a flagship product of that campaign; the Bay Breeze is a later variation). The Bay Breeze is not an IBA official cocktail. Per Difford's Guide #183.
