Head to head
Bay Breeze and Gin and Tonic side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Bay Breeze has vodka, cranberry juice and pineapple juice, the Gin and Tonic gin and tonic water. In parts, a Bay Breeze is 1½ vodka, 2¼ cranberry and 1 pineapple; a Gin and Tonic is 1 gin and 2½ tonic water. By volume, the Bay Breeze is 70% mixer and juice and 30% spirit; the Gin and Tonic is 71% mixer and juice and 29% spirit. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Gin and Tonic is the stronger drink in the glass (10.7% ABV against 8.4%), but being smaller it holds about the same alcohol (1.13 standard drinks each). The Bay Breeze has more calories (about 176 against 152) and more sugar (13.9 g against 10.9 g). Both are served in a highball; the Bay Breeze is shaken, the Gin and Tonic built.
