Like most of the cocktails we enjoy today, the sea breeze (pictured on the left) dates from the Prohibition era in the US, in the 1920s and 30s. For a sweeter version, ring the changes by swapping pineapple juice for the grapefruit – this is called a bay breeze.

1. Combine the vodka, grapefruit juice and cranberry juice with ice in cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into a chilled glass with ice and garnish with orange peel.
