I experimented with different fruit juices, ratios, and combinations - you know it was all in the name of science and sacrifice 😉 - and landed on my favorite one. Most also have added sugars to boot - not enough to give me a bad hangover, but they're still something I prefer to minimize in my cocktails as much as possible.Īlso, though I can get into some classic grapefruit juice, I figured why not play around with ruby red grapefruit juice? It would offer a bolder, yet more rounded out grapefruit flavor and - let's not forget - would lend a prettier color to the drinks.

They're not sickeningly sweet, meaning that I don't have to worry about headaches or (as much) dehydration later, either.Īs I usually can't stop myself from doing, I started playing around with ways to make sea breeze variations of my own.įor example, though I don't mind cranberry juice, it isn't my favorite. Refreshing, naturally sweetened with fruit juice, and finishing with a clean vodka flavor, the grapefruit and cranberry juice drink cools me off and reminds me of (more normal) summers. By some act of fate, someone at the golf course recommended one to me a few months ago and there's been no turning back since. Now, before I bore you with bird watching, let's get back to the golf piece.Īfter all, though you probably could sip a cocktail while you bird watch, it'll most likely be more fun to sip one while you walk down a fairway.Įspecially when it's hot, totally when you're out there on a weekday afternoon, and even when you head out for a few holes after a long workday.īeer or wine are almost always fun options for the sport, but on these long hot days I've quickly discovered that I need an iced beverage to stay cool for the long haul. I've started golfing (or shall I say, walking along with Chris while he golfs?), playing around with the idea of bird watching, and finding and watching birds while I walk along with Chris on the golf course. Whether it's my brain's desire to see new things or just that a long run won't entertain me all day long, I've thrown myself into other activities that I probably wouldn't have considered or dove into as deeply as I have in years past. But, as this current 'situation continues to do, I've been motivated to move out outside of my normal 'box' Running, hiking, biking, and walking have been - as usual - some of my more natural go-to's. Like many, this summer we've been on the constant hunt for socially distanced activities we can do outside to keep our sanity, get some fresh air, and (hopefully) even have some fun. Just one sip and you'll be transported to your favorite summer beach. With just four ingredients, we have a cocktail that is cooling and refreshing while having no added sweeteners, and therefore not as many annoying hangovers.Įnjoy these cocktails by the pool, on your patio, or even just on your couch after a busy day of work. Simple doesn't mean boring with these Pomegranate Sea Breeze Cocktails.
