The Nantucket is January 13th Drink of the Day!!

If you like a Seabreeze Cocktail, this is something you may want to try. Replacing the vodka with brandy, this is a nice refreshing drink to not only give you some nutrients along with your beverage, but will be a nice sipper to have in along with you while entertaining friends at your next home party. Nice and light in alcohol content, this is perfect for those who want to take it easy and keep their head while being the host.

In the video, I chose to go a little heavy on the juices, primarily to show that it doesn’t matter how much juice you have in the cocktail. Keeping the liquor count at 1 1/2 oz. will give you allotted serving. Enjoy and drink safe! Cheers!

Cranberry Juice

Grapefruit Juice

Method: In a highball glass filled with ice, build this drink by first adding the measured amount of brandy. Top off the glass with equal parts of cranberry juice and grapefruit juice. Garnish with a lemon half wheel on the rim of the glass.
