June: Bay Breeze

If summer had a signature taste, the Bay Breeze might just be it. It is light, fruity, and easygoing, just like your ideal weekend plans.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 ounces vodka

• 3 ounces cranberry juice

• 1 1/2 ounces pineapple juice

• Garnish: lime wheel

Instructions:

1. Fill a glass with ice—typically a highball glass works best.

2. Pour in 1 1/2 ounces of vodka.

3. Add 3 ounces of cranberry juice.

4. Top it off with 1 1/2 ounces of pineapple juice.

5. Give it a gentle stir to combine.

6. Garnish with a lime wheel for a fresh finish.

Tips:

• Chill everything – Use chilled vodka and juices for an extra refreshing pour (and less dilution from ice).

• Try flavored vodka – Coconut or pineapple-flavored vodka adds a tropical twist if you're feeling adventurous.

• Upgrade your garnish – Add a pineapple wedge or a few fresh cranberries for a beachy feel.
