Built in a Highball glass, and topped up with soda water and garnished with mint.Īt some point or points, between the 1950’s and the 1990’s, this fading cocktail was reprized (or appropriated) by a number of mixologists and ingredient ‘interests’. Back before 1930, it was the ‘Sea Breeze Cooler’, and called for “the juice of half a lemon, two dashes of grenadine and equal parts apricot brandy and dry gin over ice”. HISTORICAL NOTES – Yet another cocktail gift to history from the work of Harry Craddock and his 1930 publication, ‘The Savoy Cocktail Book’. Mix of Locktail #037 – A modified 2021 version of the ‘Sea Breeze’ Cocktail. Garnish with a lemon wedge and (optional to taste) a sprig of fresh mint. Top the glass up with 30ml to 90ml of Fever Tree’s Mediterranean Tonic (or other light tonic or soda water if you are not a fan of tonic) to the appropriate level in the glass. Slowly add the strained contents of the cocktail shaker. Pour 60ml (approximate) of cranberry juice into the bottom of the glassware. Shake until cold (10-15 seconds) and set-aside. Add 30ml Gin (I recommend an Old Tom Style like Jensen’s or Hammer & Sons), 30ml Apricot Brandy (such as Joseph Cartron), 30ml fresh lemon juice into a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice. METHOD – Prepare a stemless wine glass, tumbler or double rocks glass with ice cubes or crushed ice. Garnish – Lemon Wedge (or mint sprig optional) Ice – Cubes (alternatively crushed or pieces) Preparation – Shake (selected ingredients) Glassware – Stemless Wine (or Double Rocks)
