More information...

The Seabreeze (Non-alcoholic) is a refreshing and vibrant drink that captures the essence of summer in a glass, making it a perfect choice for those who prefer to enjoy a delightful beverage without the effects of alcohol. This mocktail is not only visually appealing but also tantalizing to the taste buds, offering a harmonious blend of flavors that are both sweet and tangy.

To create this invigorating drink, you will need a few simple ingredients: 50 ml of sweetened cranberry juice, 50 ml of cloudy apple juice or apple cider, 20 ml of freshly squeezed lime juice, and 37.5 ml of Thomas Henry Soda Water. The combination of cranberry and apple juices provides a fruity base that is both sweet and slightly tart, while the lime juice adds a zesty kick that brightens the overall flavor profile. The soda water introduces a refreshing effervescence, making each sip feel light and bubbly.

The preparation of the Seabreeze is straightforward, which is part of its charm. Start by selecting and pre-chilling a Collins glass, which is ideal for showcasing the drink's vibrant colors. Prepare a garnish of a lime wedge to add a touch of elegance and a hint of extra citrus aroma. The first step in crafting this mocktail is to shake the cranberry juice, apple juice, and lime juice together with ice. This not only chills the mixture but also ensures that the flavors meld beautifully. After shaking, strain the mixture into the ice-filled glass, allowing the vibrant red and green hues to shine through.

Next, top the drink with the soda water and give it a brief stir to combine the ingredients without losing the carbonation. Finally, garnish with the lime wedge, which not only enhances the drink's presentation but also invites the drinker to enjoy the fresh lime aroma with each sip.

With only 70 calories per serving and absolutely no alcohol content, the Seabreeze (Non-alcoholic) is a guilt-free indulgence that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. It is perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or simply as a refreshing treat on a hot day. The drink's nutritional value is appealing, especially for those who are health-conscious or looking to reduce their sugar intake, as the use of unsweetened apple juice helps balance the sweetness of the cranberry juice.

The Seabreeze is not just a drink; it’s an experience. It evokes memories of beach vacations, sunny afternoons, and carefree moments spent with friends and family. The vibrant colors and refreshing taste make it a fantastic option for those who want to partake in social occasions without consuming alcohol.

How did the name 'cocktails' come to be?

The etymology is believed to have come from a New Orleans apothecary, and inventor, Antoine Amédée Peychaud, who served brandy with his bitters in eggcups in the late 18th century.

The french word for eggcup is coquetier.

The story goes, that it was difficult to pronounce coquetier, was likely mis-pronounced, and quickly the word cocktail caught on as a new word.
