Bay Breeze Cocktail

Make a refreshing Bay Breeze Cocktail with just a few simple ingredients! If you love cranberry and pineapple, this is going to be your new go-to drink!

Bay Breeze Cocktail

Bay Breeze Cocktail

We’ve almost made it to the weekend, friends, and that deserves a cocktail! This is one tropical cocktail that will have you thinking you’re in the islands. Good news is that you can make it year-round! It’s currently freezing and raining in Nashville, but this Bay Breeze cures all the winter blues. You ready?

Let’s talk about the Bay Breeze Cocktail! It also likes to go by the names of a Hawaiian Sea Breeze, a Downeaster, or a Paul Joseph. It’s a sister drink to the popular Sea Breeze Cocktail, but today, it’s all about this fruity pineapple Bay Breeze.

Bay Breeze Drink

Next, let’s chat about how to make a Bay Breeze cocktail. Cranberry juice, vodka, and pineapple juice are all you need to make the Bay Breeze. It uses the base of a Cape Codder with the addition of pineapple juice.

Can you use rum in lieu of vodka?

Sure. It won’t *technically* be a Bay Breeze at that point, but it will definitely taste delicious. Might I suggest coconut rum if you go the rum route, it’s delicious! For the official Bay Breeze, however, it’s vodka!

Bay Breeze Cocktail

You can make this Bay Breeze recipe in a large batch for a crowd (which I really love) and serve it in a fun drink dispenser or pitcher with floating with fruit slices (pineapple and lime are my favorites here) and sprigs of mint. I always love to find ways to make a drink “pretty” for presentation.

If you’re making more than 1, here’s a little tip! In the recipe card below, just click on the “1” beside serving and adjust the slider to increase to your desired number. It will adjust the ingredients for you! Cool, huh?

    can you recommend a substitute for vodka to make it a “mocktail”?

      Rachel, you can simply leave out the vodka. It doesn’t need a substitute.

    There is absolutely nothing better than an ice cold Paul Joseph on a summer day. I prefer to go a little heavier on the pineapple juice but you can make them either way. Great recipe.
