The Bay Breeze cocktail, originally created in the 1940s to promote cranberry juice sales, is known for its tart and sweet flavors. Despite its popularity, experts consider the original recipe to be somewhat one-dimensional. In response, several cocktail creators from bars like Wunderbar and Los Gatos Soda Works have been challenged to innovate the classic drink. The aim is to enhance the cocktail's appeal while maintaining its essence, leading to refreshing new interpretations, such as pineapple skin-infused vodka and spiced cranberry syrup variants.
At Los Gatos Soda Works, we've taken the classic Bay Breeze and given it a bold, imaginative twist. Our version stays true to its roots while reimagining each ingredient with care and creativity.
The original Bay Breeze is a very mid cocktail. Not a lot going on and pretty one-dimensional, according to Kiernan Moran, bar manager at Wunderbar.
The Bay Breeze is tart, sweet and sippable. It was one of a trio of cocktails invented in the 1940s to increase cranberry juice sales.
Mixologists at Los Gatos Soda Works, Tallboy, Wunderbar, Beer Baron, and the Fat Pigeon delivered innovative reboots of the classic Bay Breeze cocktail.
