3 Sea Breeze Drink Recipe Variations

Posted on April 26, 2013 | Comments Off

Many of us have come to know the Sea Breeze drink as one of the more popular drinks of the 70’s. But did you know the Sea Breeze was really a Prohibition Era recipe born in the late 1920s? This makes the Sea Breeze a drink to add to your growing list of classic cocktails.

Sea Breeze Cooler & Galliano Breeze

The 1920s version of the Sea Breeze contained gin and grenadine. By the 1930s it became the Sea Breeze Cooler with gin, apricot brandy, grenadine, lemon juice and mint sprig garnish. I’ve seen internet chatter of a later version of the Sea Breeze using Galliano and Blue Curacao, but I’ve been unable to find an exact recipe. However, I did find a Galliano Breeze on Italian Food that you might find interesting.

We know how to make the modern day version of the Sea Breeze, so let’s talk about how to convert it for low calorie consumption.

Low Calorie Ocean Breeze

The Sea Breeze drink is a simple three ingredient cocktail. This makes flavor substitution a breeze for low calorie drink recipes. Take advantage of superbly crafted vodka flavor infusions for quick, low calorie cocktails. Rely on fresh squeezed fruit juice and low calorie bottled fruit juices.

Ocean Breeze – created by Cheri Loughlin

1 ounce Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka

3 ounces Light Cranberry Juice

1/2 ounce Fresh Grapefruit Juice

Grapefruit Wedge Garnish – optional

Combine liquids in highball glass over fresh ice. Garnish with small grapefruit wedge if desired. – Approximately 88 calories (I used Charbay Vodka while creating this cocktail, but use the brand you like the best.) Find calorie counts for some spirits and mixers in the Counting Calories chart found on this site.

The Sea Breeze drink recipe is a member of the New England Highball family of recipes. It enjoys company with the Cape Cod or Cape Codder, Bay Breeze, Madras, Sex on the Beach, Woo Woo and a few other off-shoot drink recipes. These drinks are ideally shaken over ice to create a foamy surface on the top of the drink before serve. Perhaps this is a reminder of the surface of the sea.

Many Girls Night In evenings begin with popcorn, favorite movie and of course, cocktails. When it’s time to settle in for an indulgent evening full of movies, it’s time to bring out the classics. Many film stars from way back when have cocktails named in their honor, but there is also the flip side of movies with namesake cocktails. Audrey Hepburn made the movie sing, but remember the music from Breakfast at Tiffany’s?

Moon River

1/2 measure Dry Gin

1/2 measure Apricot Brandy

1/2 measure O3 Premium Orange Liqueur

1/4 measure Galliano

1/4 measure Lemon Juice

Brandied Cherry Garnish

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into chilled martini glass.

Wonderful! Apricot Brandy and Galliano meld together seamlessly with the ideal amount of abundant orange playing through. Sip slowly!

Classics Take to the Punch Bowl

Posted on February 7, 2011 | 1 Comment

The original Hurricane was created at Pat O’Brien’s in New Orleans out of necessity during World War II when rum was abundant and other liquors were in short supply. If bar owners wanted to purchase whiskey which was a high demand/short supply commodity, liquor salesmen would require bulk purchase of lower demand/high supply spirits such as rum. The recipe for the Hurricane evolved due to an effort to keep the stockpile of rum flowing out of the bar enabling a supply of whiskey to keep flowing in.

Hurricane
1 ounce Dark Rum
1 ounce Light Rum
1/2 ounce Galliano
3/4 ounce Fresh Lime Juice
2 ounce Passion Fruit Nectar or Passion Fruit Syrup
2 ounce Fresh Orange Juice
2 ounce Pineapple Juice
1 ounce Simple Syrup
Dash of Angostura Bitters
Orange Wheel, Lime Wheel & Pineapple Chunk Garnish

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend. Strain into hurricane glass over fresh ice. Garnish with skewered fruits. Notation: The Hurricane is not named for the seasonal weather of New Orleans. The cocktail is served in a glass that mimics the shape of a hurricane lamp. Thus it is named due to the curvaceous glass.

The original Hurricane of New Orleans offers much more for those who look to quench the thirst of the masses. Club 360 of New Orleans modified the classic cocktail into a punch style recipe for easier serve.

Club 360’s Hurricane
24 ounces Pineapple Juice
24 ounces Orange Juice
8 ounces Light Rum
8 ounces Grenadine
8 ounces Dark Rum, preferably Myers’s
Orange Wheels & Maraschino Cherries Garnish

Combine liquids in large pitcher or container. Stir. Refrigerate at least two hours. Stir before serving. Fill old fashioned glasses with ice. Fill. Garnish with skewered fruit. Notation: Club 360 omits the dark rum as liquids are mixed and refrigerated, saving it as a float on top of the cocktail as it is served. Mix and serve as you prefer.

Vittoria – created by Cheri Loughlin

1 ounce Galliano

1/2 ounce Raspberry Liqueur

Quick & Easy Drink Pairings for Football Weekend

Posted on November 19, 2010 | 1 Comment

Another week comes to a close and the words rolling off the tongue are thank goodness there’s football! Better yet there are many complementary drink recipes already on the books that go hand in hand with many football teams. It’s just a matter of finding them for clever match-ups.

Houston Texans fans might be pleased to find the Texsun cocktail served martini style with minimal ingredients. This clever cocktail includes bourbon and dry vermouth. Serve this on the rocks for easier tailgate preparation if you prefer.

Texsun – Difford’s Guide #7

1-1/2 parts Bourbon

1-1/2 parts Dry Vermouth

1-1/2 part Pink Grapefruit Juice

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Dallas Cowboys fans also get a taste of bourbon, but this time mixed with a little dark rum. The Midnight Cowboy is a darker spirited cocktail with warmer tones. Though it is traditionally served martini style it would make an excellent long drink served on the rocks. Better still, place 2 to 3 ounces of espresso in a tall glass on the rocks and add the remaining ingredients for a terrific early morning eye opening tailgate drink. Please keep in mind football and tailgating can be an all day event, so please consume responsibly.

Midnight Cowboy

2 parts Bourbon

1 part Dark Rum

1/2 part Half & Half or Heavy Whipping Cream

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake thoroughly. Strain into a cocktail glass. Notation: There is no sugar in this cocktail. If your preference is a little sweet, add a wee amount of simple syrup to taste.

There is a shot by the name of Panther just waiting patiently for Carolina Panthers fans. Unfortunately this particular shot does not carry the same team colors, but perhaps will sip as slyly as a panther instead.

Panther

1 part Peach Brandy

1 part White Crème de Menthe

Place liquids in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into a shot or shooter glass.

The St. Louis Rams should plan on shaking things up on the field this weekend. Fans should cheer them on with the Battering Ram. This long drink contains a few more ingredients than the previous recipes, but definitely provides long sipping satisfaction. Battering Ram leans a little toward sweet, so hold off on the sweet and sour mix until last and add it in according to taste preference for sweet factor.

Battering Ram

1/2 part Light Rum

1/2 part Dark Rum

1/2 part Homemade Sweet & Sour

1/4 part Bourbon

3 parts Orange Juice

Tonic Water

Orange Slice Garnish

Combine all liquid ingredients except tonic water in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into a highball glass filled half with ice. Top with tonic water. Garnish with orange slice.

Milkshakes go back as a personal favorite since childhood, so the Brown Cow recipe was a no brainer for inclusion in football favorites. A little tweak of the recipe and use of Kahlua Especial turns this classic into something special for Cleveland Browns fans.

Especial Brown Cow – adapted by Cheri Loughlin

1-1/2 parts Kahlua

2-1/2 parts Milk

2-1/2 parts Half & Half

Splash Chocolate Syrup

Combine Kahlua, milk and half & half in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend. Strain into Hurricane glass over fresh ice. Drizzle chocolate syrup over top.

The Jaguar contains the deeply rich flavor of Galliano blended with velvety ice cream for a lovely concoction for Jacksonville Jaguars fans. Winter chill might be settling in, but it’s really never too cold for a temptingly delicious ice cream treat.

Jaguar

2 parts Galliano

1 part White Crème de Cacao

2 scoops Ice Cream

Whipped Cream Garnish

Blend Galliano, White Crème de Menthe and ice Cream in a blender until completely smooth. Serve in a parfait glass with whipped cream garnish.

San Francisco 49ers fans already know their team is named in honor of miners who headed west in a quest for gold. It’s appropriate to drive the team spirit home with a golden cocktail that takes little preparation so more time can be spent watching the game. Golden Nail is a nice and easy smooth sipper.

Golden Nail

1-1/2 parts Bourbon

3/4 parts Southern Comfort

2 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters

Orange Twist Garnish

Combine ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir. Strain into an Old Fashioned glass over fresh ice. Garnish with fresh orange zest.

Tweaking Popular Cocktails for Halloween Menus

Posted on October 18, 2010 | Leave a comment

When planning the drinks you’ll serve for Halloween parties keep in mind the type of cocktails you and your guests usually consume. Use those drink recipes as the basis for your cocktail inspiration. After all, the plethora of Halloween cocktails with clever names, creepy garnishes and bubbling froth will be more miss than hit if the flavor aspect is lost on you and your guests. Popular drink recipes can be adapted to suit the spooky season without the fear factor.

Shivering Sour – adapted by Cheri Loughlin from the Midori Sour

1 ounce Melon Liqueur

1 ounce Fresh Lemon Juice

1/2 ounce Fresh Lime Juice

1/2 ounce Simple Syrup

1/4 ounce Sloe Gin

Combine melon liqueur, citrus juices and simple syrup in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into rocks glass over fresh ice. Float Sloe Gin on top for creepy effect.

One of the first long drinks I fell in love with at the bar, figuratively and literally, was the Grateful Dead. The version I liked without Sprite topper is long gone along with the bartender who tweaked the recipe to my liking. There are as many variations to the Grateful Dead as there are bars in any given town. This adaptation relies on a kick of spice with the inclusion of spiced rum and Drambuie. If you’d like to add just a hint more flavor, use a good reposado tequila as well.

Grateful Dead – adapted by Cheri Loughlin

1/2 ounce Tequila

1/2 ounce Vodka

1/2 ounce Spiced Rum

1/2 ounce Gin

3/4 ounce Raspberry Liqueur

1/4 ounce Drambuie

1/2 ounce Fresh Lemon Juice

1/2 ounce Fresh Lime Juice

1/2 ounce Simple Syrup

1 ounce Club Soda

Combine all ingredients except club soda in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend. Strain into Collins glass over fresh ice. Top with club soda. Stir. Garnish with lemon wedge and maraschino cherries if desired. Notation: This can be made ahead and multiplied for a party pitcher drink, too.

Fantasma is the feminine gender noun for ghost in Italian. Since Galliano is the primary flavor outside of orange in the classic Harvey Wallbanger drink it’s appropriate to rely on the Italian heritage to rename the cocktail for the season. This recipe is my version of the classic Harvey Wallbanger. Many Harvey Wallbanger recipes call for 2 ounces vodka, 6 ounces orange juice and 1/4 ounce Galliano float. Vodka adds little to the flavor of orange juice. It seems rather unfair to add a mere splash of Galliano to such a tall drink, so shortening the drink and going long on spirited flavor is just the right ticket to detail in this rendition in my opinion.

Screaming Fantasma – adapted by Cheri Loughlin from the classic Harvey Wallbanger

1-1/2 ounce Vodka

4 ounces Orange Juice

3/4 ounce Galliano

Place ice in a highball glass. Add vodka and orange juice. Stir. Float Galliano on top. Notation: Ordinary vodka can also be exchanged for citrus or orange flavored vodkas to give the base Screwdriver drink or Harvey Wallbanger added oomph.

The Amaretto Sour tops many people’s list as a popular favorite. Yet this particular drink easily goes too sweet too fast or zings into the dark side of pucker up lemony sour in no time flat. Rather than mixing straight amaretto and lemon juice with a cross your fingers and hope for the best wicked smile, take the time to mellow out the drink with a couple of additional add-ins. Rum smoothes the sour out a bit while orange juice gives a wee burst of healthy citrus flavor shine.

Toiling in Trouble Sour – adapted by Cheri Loughlin from the Amaretto Sour

2 ounces Amaretto

3/4 ounce Fresh Lemon Juice

3/4 ounce Lemon or Citrus Rum

1/2 ounce Orange Juice

Place liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend. Strain into Collins glass large rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with orange wheel and cherry.

For the Love of Football

Posted on November 7, 2009 | Leave a comment

Tailgating during football season is almost as American as apple pie and hot dogs. Tailgate parties set up in parking lots and grassy areas of game day venues have become as popular if not more so as gathering in front of the big screen TV for the big game. The spirit of tailgating in America has become tradition and has spread to more sporting events than just football.

Beyond tailgating is the good old fashioned way of enjoying the great American sport of football; at home in the presence of friends cheering on your team and calling the referee out for plays they called wrong. We never get our two cents in where the play calls lead, but we can call the shots where the drink recipes are concerned. That is where The Intoxicologist gives you the opportunity to decide the best drink recipe for your game of choice whether tailgating or watching the game on the big screen.

When the game just isn’t going your way it’s Aggravation all the way.

Aggravation

1-1/4 part Scotch

3/4 part Coffee Liqueur

1 part Half & Half

Combine liquids in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.

Someone in the game always displays a fair amount of attitude which in turn gets picked up by someone in the crowd. Pour it, mix it and pass them a little Attitude adjustment.

Attidude

1 part Vodka

1 part Amaretto

1 part Coconut Rum

1/2 part Cranberry Juice

1/2 part Pineapple Juice

Build in a highball glass over fresh ice.

Maybe it’s carrying a Sharpie pen in a sock or being the player constantly on the edge of retirement…everyone has at least one bad habit. Most likely someone in the room watching the game with you has one too. The Bad Habit drink is just the ticket.

Bad Habit

1 part Vodka

1 part Peach Schnapps

Build in a rocks glass over fresh ice.

It doesn’t matter how much you yell and shout at the screen or profess the ‘would of, could of done its’ to your tailgating buds. The real brave souls are the ones on the field lined up toe to toe on the front line. So a toast to them; a Brave Bull.

Brave Bull

1-1/4 part Tequila

3/4 part Coffee Liqueur

Lemon Twist Garnish

Build in a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lemon twist. Stir.

The sidelines, the locker room the dirty uniforms…it all boils down to a little Buffalo Sweat in the afternoon.

Buffalo Sweat

1 part Bourbon

1 dash Tabasco Sauce

Place bourbon in a shot glass. Add dash of Tabasco. Shoot.

A blowout win is sometimes cool, but when the matchup is equal and the game is close things are much more interesting. It also causes a little tension in the air. Beware of Contents Under Pressure.

Contents Under Pressure – created by Patsy Edward

1-1/2 parts Vodka

1/2 part Galliano

1/2 part Grand Marnier

1/2 part Spiced Rum

Lemon Twist Garnish

Combine liquid ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into highball glass over fresh ice or a margarita glass without ice. Garnish with lemon twist.

Can’t take the last nerve-racking minutes of the game when your team just doesn’t look like they will pull through? Don’t have a nervous breakdown. Have a Cranium Meltdown instead.

Cranium Meltdown

1/4 part Coconut Rum

1/4 part 151 Rum

1/4 part Raspberry Liqueur

1/4 part Pineapple Juice

Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to chill. Strain into a pony glass.

There is always that one play, that singular moment, the seconds that goes down in history. This is the play that goes without a hitch that the booth plays over and over again. Let’s just hope your team is the one who makes the play.

Perfection

1-1/2 part Whiskey

1/4 part Club Soda

1/4 part Ginger Ale

Lemon Twist

Build in an old fashioned glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Eventually winner takes all.

Victor

1-1/2 part Gin

1/2 part Sweet Vermouth

1/2 part Brandy

Place ingredients in mixing glass with ice. Stir to chill. Strain into martini glass.

No sense in leaving with a long face if your team didn’t quite make the cut this time around. Take it on the chin. There is always next week.

Weep No More

1-1/2 part Dubonnet

1-1/2 part Cognac

Splash Lime Juice

Splash Cherry Liqueur

Place ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into chilled cocktail glass.
