Seabreeze Cocktail Variations
Halloween Seabreeze Cocktail
Years ago, I spied my dangerously low bottle of Vampyre Vodka. With Halloween fast approaching, it gave me an idea for a fabulous party drink for the spooky holiday: a seabreeze made with Vampyre Vodka, which is “blood red”! Note the slice of lime–this is the classic adornment for this alcoholic beverage.

This could also be a great choice for Christmas parties, too. Add a toothpick with some sugared cranberries with the slice of lime across the top of the glass for a festive touch!
