Head to head
Bay Breeze and French Martini side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Vodka and pineapple in both. The Bay Breeze is a tall highball lengthened with cranberry juice; the French Martini is short and served up, sweetened with raspberry liqueur, and is about twice as strong in the glass.
By the numbers
The Bay Breeze uses cranberry juice where the French Martini uses raspberry liqueur; both have vodka and pineapple juice. In parts, a Bay Breeze is 1½ vodka, 2¼ cranberry and 1 pineapple; a French Martini is 3 vodka, 1 raspberry and 1 pineapple. By volume, the Bay Breeze is 70% mixer and juice and 30% spirit; the French Martini is 60% spirit, 20% mixer and juice and 20% liqueur.
The French Martini is the stronger drink in the glass (16.2% ABV against 8.4%), but being smaller it holds about the same alcohol (1.13 and 1.15 standard drinks). The Bay Breeze has more calories (about 176 against 139) and more sugar (13.9 g against 6.1 g). Both are shaken; the Bay Breeze is served in a highball, the French Martini in a martini glass.
