Head to head
Bay Breeze and Sea Breeze side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Vodka and cranberry in both: the Sea Breeze adds grapefruit juice, the Bay Breeze pineapple. Pineapple makes the Bay Breeze rounder and less tart; grapefruit keeps the Sea Breeze sharper.
By the numbers
The Bay Breeze uses pineapple juice where the Sea Breeze uses grapefruit juice; both have vodka and cranberry juice. In parts, a Bay Breeze is 1½ vodka, 2¼ cranberry and 1 pineapple; a Sea Breeze is 1 vodka, 3 cranberry and ¾ grapefruit. By volume, the Bay Breeze is 70% mixer and juice and 30% spirit; the Sea Breeze is 63% mixer and juice, 21% spirit and 16% citrus.

Calories are close (about 176 and 170), but the Sea Breeze has more sugar (18.1 g against 13.9 g). Both are served in a highball; the Bay Breeze is shaken, the Sea Breeze built.
