“The original Sea Breeze Cooler first appeared in Harry Craddock's influential "The Savoy Cocktail Book" in 1930. This complex, gin-based libation predates the modern vodka-cranberry-grapefruit Sea Breeze by decades. The cocktail represents the Prohibition era's "cooler" style—refreshing long drinks designed to be thirst-quenching. The drink largely disappeared as cocktail culture evolved, but has seen renewed interest among craft bartenders exploring historical recipes.”
