To prepare the cocktail:

  1. Fill a shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Add the vodka, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice to the shaker.
  3. Shake the mixture vigorously until well chilled.
  4. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice cubes.
  5. Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel, which adds a hint of citrus aroma and visual appeal.

The Sea Breeze cocktail is celebrated for its bright and invigorating taste. The vodka serves as a neutral base, allowing the cranberry juice's natural sweetness and the grapefruit juice's tanginess to shine through. The combination of tartness and sweetness creates a refreshing and easy-drinking experience.

The cocktail's name, "Sea Breeze," evokes imagery of ocean breezes and seaside relaxation. Its fruity and slightly tangy qualities make it a popular choice for beach bars, coastal resorts, and summer gatherings.

The Sea Breeze's colorful appearance and the hint of citrus in the garnish contribute to its visual appeal. It's a go-to cocktail for those seeking a straightforward and enjoyable drink that combines the flavors of popular juices with a touch of vodka's potency.
