After a long, LONG day at work, I came home, I felt I needed a bit of a vacation. I mixed up a Hawaiian Sea Breeze cocktail, drew up a warm bath, and played exotic Balinese Gamelan music. I was instantly relaxed as I was whisked away to my imaginary tropical paradise.
Here's the recipe I used (taken from DrinksMixer.com):
1 1/2 oz vodka (Vitali Vodka)
1 splash cranberry juice (Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice)
4 1/2 oz pineapple juice (Dole Concentrated Pineapple Juice)
Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Shake well and serve.
A very easy cocktail to make for when you need that island escape. It's typically served in a highball glass with a lime wedge as a garnish, but feel free to take creative liberties with this drink.
Personal tasting notes: Honestly, this drink could be a lot stronger, and there could have been more than a "splash" of cranberry juice. Honestly, it felt like I was just drinking pineapple juice. Maybe I need to dilute the pineapple juice with more water to help it mix better, but I couldn't even taste the alcohol. But this is definitely a drink that I'm willing to work on improving for next time.
