This cocktail is amongst the most popular vodka-based drinks. In the 1930's a Sea Breeze contained gin, apricot brandy, grenadine and lemon juice; a latter recipe contained vodka, dry vermouth, galliano and blue curacao. But it's the combination of vodka, cranberry and grapefruit juice that is consdered to be the classic Sea Breeze of choice today. This cocktail is quite aptly named Sea Breeze; just as a sea breeze can swiftly change direction, so have the combination of ingredients that go into creating this cocktail changed over time.
