If you’ve never made a Bay Breeze drink, you’ll be pleased with how easy it is. Bay Breeze is a mix of vodka cranberry and the tropical flavor of pineapple juice. This drink is also sometimes called a Hawaiian Sea Breeze or Downeaster.
Other juice-based cocktails: Cape Cod, Tequila Sunrise, Screwdriver, Salty Dog, Paloma, Bloody Mary.
Bay Breeze Ingredients
- vodka – Choose a good quality, mid-priced vodka.
- Cranberry juice – Cranberry juice cocktails are fine, but make sure you choose pure cranberry juice.
- Pineapple Juice – Fresh juice is best, but canned juice also works great in this recipe.
- lime – Use lime slices or wedges as garnish.
What is the best glass to serve Bay Breeze in? A highball glass or a similarly sized tall glass is ideal for serving this drink – I used my vintage glass ( similar style here ).

This drink doesn’t require a cocktail shaker or any special bar tools, just mix it in the glass.

Both the Bay Breeze and Sea Breeze are variations on the Cape Cod (vodka cranberry). In addition to vodka and cranberry juice, the Bay Breeze adds pineapple juice and the Sea Breeze adds grapefruit juice.
Tips on how to make it
- Experiment with the ratios. Many people prefer more pineapple juice, so experiment with the recipe to find the balance you like best.
- Serve without stirring. To allow the layers to stand out, serve this drink unstirred.
- Choose a high-quality, mid-priced vodka like Tito’s or Ketel One.
- For a stronger drink in less, prepare this cocktail in an Old Fashioned glass and add less juice.
