Chesapeake Bay Breeze

Chesapeake Bay Breeze Whiskey Cocktail When the weather’s still a little chilly (pre- G&T weather) but you’re at the beach anyway, and your compatriots are bourbon drinkers, it’s time to get creative and make my Chesapeake Bay Breeze. It’s the perfect cocktail to get people in the Crab Boil spirit. The Chesapeake Bay Breeze is a clever twist on the classic Sea Breeze. I kept the cranberry and the grapefruit and subbed out vodka for bourbon. I also upset the balance in the favor or the grapefruit, but you should play around with the ratios until the Chesapeake Bay Breeze is perfect for you and yours. Serve up with lots of sun, lots of ice and plenty of sand court volleyball with the Chesapeake Bay Breeze. Added bonus, this cocktail, while of course tart and refreshing for summer, it actually a sort of wonderful Winter drink. Grapefruit are at their peak in the winter, cranberries are readily available in the store for a garnish, and it definitely bourbon season. Instead of serving on the rocks try shaking and serving up. I think you’ll find you like the Chesapeake Bay Breeze year round, kind of like a trip to the Chesapeake. Sometimes a fireplace and a hot tub are better in the snow, just like the bourbon in this Chesapeake Bay Breeze.
