rum sea breeze cocktailRum Sea Breeze Cocktail
By Maralyn Hill and Brenda Hill
‘The Tandem Tasters’

It is September, one of our favorite months of the year for many reasons. Although we look forward to autumn, we still love those last lazy, hazy days of summer. Cheers to another weekend of refreshing sea breezes.

Sea breezes are best known as vodka drinks, but we like them with white rum and plenty of fresh limes. This is the ideal late summer pool or beach drink.

Ingredients:
3 cups cranberry juice
1 cup grapefruit juice
1 cup of white rum
1 lime, juiced.
6 lime slices for garnish
 

Mixology:
Pour all of the juices into a large pitcher and stir. Serve over ice in a tall glass, garnish with lime slices.

Tips:

  • This drink is best for people like us who like their drinks tart. Although Norm loves lime gimlets, he likes to add a little pineapple or pomegranate juice to this one. We call his version a sweet sea breeze.

  • You can use vodka instead of rum, less cranberry and more rum or grapefruit.

  • This recipe tastes refreshing no matter how you slightly vary the amount or the ingredients.  For example, if out of limes, lemons will work, or a few teaspoons of Roses lime juice.

  • We keep frozen grapes in the freezer as a quick and cool garnish for many cocktails.

Our Mission: Our Mission: "Big Blend Magazine is a company based on the belief that education is the most formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance and prejudice. It is our belief that education starts at home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately to world peace. Our company is further based on the principle that networking, communication, and helping others to promote and market themselves leads to financial stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel, and the spirit of giving back to the community."
