You know that perfect moment on vacation? The sun is warming your skin, a breeze is dancing off the ocean, and everything’s slowing down just enough to savor it? That’s the feeling this cocktail was made for.
The Sea Breeze Spritz is a coastal-inspired take on a classic spritz, created for those afternoons that call for something light, sparkling, and a little bit transportive.
It’s crisp, citrusy, and floral in all the right places—refreshing like the wind off the water and vibrant like the sky it reflects.
Start with vodka—a clean, neutral base that lets the brighter, bolder notes of this cocktail take center stage. It’s what gives the drink its smooth structure without adding any competing flavors.
Then comes the blue curaçao, that electric blue citrus liqueur that brings both visual wow-factor and a pop of slightly bitter orange.
It’s what gives the drink its summery backbone and tropical edge.
Crème de Violette joins the mix, introducing soft, floral notes that add depth without overwhelming the drink. It’s subtle but essential—adding a light violet essence that lingers delicately on the palate.
To keep things crisp and balanced, we add a splash of lemon juice, brightening the cocktail with just enough acidity to offset the sweeter elements and make sure every sip finishes clean and lively.
Shaken over ice and strained into a champagne flute, the cocktail takes on a shimmering blue-violet hue—reminiscent of twilight skies over the ocean. And then, the final touch: a top-off of chilled Prosecco.
The bubbles bring it all to life, adding lightness and sparkle that lifts the drink into full spritz territory. It’s elegant, celebratory, and completely irresistible.
Step 1: In a cocktail shaker, pour in all ingredients aside from the Prosecco. Top with ice and shake until chilled.
Step 2: Strain the mixture into a champagne flute.
Step 3: Top the flute off with Prosecco.
Whether you’re poolside, seaside, or just channeling vacation vibes from your kitchen, the Sea Breeze Spritz is the kind of cocktail that instantly transports.
It’s a breath of fresh air in a flute—vibrant, floral, and just the right amount of fizzy. Perfect for when you want to feel like you’re sipping on a breeze.
