This refreshing concoction is perfect for those hot, lazy days when you just want to kick back and let the world go by.

What's in a Name?

First things first, let's talk about the name. "Lemon Seabreeze Switch" – it's a mouthful, isn't it? But it's not just a catchy title; it's a promise of a drink that combines the tangy freshness of lemons with the cool, crisp sensation of a sea breeze. The "switch" part? Well, that's our little twist that makes this drink stand out from the crowd.

The Classic Seabreeze

Before we get to our switch, let's quickly revisit the classic Seabreeze. This drink is a blend of vodka, cranberry juice, and grapefruit juice, often garnished with a lime wedge. It's a popular choice for its vibrant color and balanced sweetness and tartness. But we're not here to just enjoy the classic; we're here to elevate it.

Introducing the Lemon Twist

Now, let's switch things up. Instead of the usual grapefruit juice, we're swapping it out for lemonade. Yes, you heard that right – lemonade! This citrus switch gives the drink a whole new dimension. The tanginess of the lemonade plays beautifully with the sweetness of the cranberry juice, creating a symphony of flavors that's both familiar and exciting.

1.5 oz Vodka
4 oz Lemonade (homemade for the best flavor)
2 oz Cranberry Juice
Splash of Soda Water (optional, for added fizz)
