Hi friends & happy Friday! I’ve got some great news & an exciting new weekend cocktail here….
What’s the great news?! This season I’ll be working with Carnival Cruise Lines & this Sparkling Sea Breeze Cocktail recipe is the perfect way to get me in the mood to set sail and chill~lax!
A Sea Breeze cocktail is a refreshing mix of cranberry juice, grapefruit juice & vodka. I made mine sparkly ’cause I love bubbles…
Garnish with some lime & orange wedges for color & more fresh flavor.
Have you ever been on a cruise? If so where did you go? What were your favorite activities? What did you pack?
I’m a cruise rookie ~ so any important & fun deets you can share with me would be awesome.
We are not sure of my destination yet….but it’s looking like it’s going to be tropical & Caribbean.
I’m beyond excited to be partnering with them & to be on the wide open sea. All of the activities (night & day) sound amazing. The food & cocktails are gonna be great too!
Aren’t the little flags I made fun in this cocktail? Kind of funky nautical…..I’m in love with Washi tape….any chance I get to use it I do. The patterns are so festive.
Sips away my friends! I can’t wait to share more trip planning details with you when I have them. Stay tuned…
In the mean time let’s all toast to a great weekend!

You take the most beautiful pictures of drinks! Seriously they make me thirsty every time!
Awwwww, thank you so much Averie. Such a huge compliment coming from you 🙂
My one and only cruise was to Alaska. Beautiful but chilly! I think I’d prefer a warm weather cruise sipping this Sea Breeze!
I’ve gotta agree with that Judy! Warm weather it shall be for my rookie cruise…but I would love to cruise Alaska some day as well!
So pretty!
This gorgeous cocktail is definitely making me want to hop on a plane and go anywhere tropical. 😀 I love the color and those pretty little flags are beyond adorable! 🙂
Thanks so much Sarah! It’s making me want to travel too 😉

Fantastic Marla! Love the cocktail. Love the cute Washi cocktail stirrers. Love that you’ll take us all cruising. Can’t wait. Happy weekend to you!
Freaking gorgeous. Is it happy hour yet?
I have never been on a cruise…I’d think I’d die of boredom. I like adventure. 😉
Extended happy hour(s) on the weekends right?! From what I gather they will keep my verrrrry busy on the cruise. This girl does not know how to sit!!
This is a gorgeous drink, Marla!! It reminds me of being by the ocean and summer!
Thanks Julie! No matter what time of year it is ~ this drink will take up to the beach!
Oh man, if this doesn’t scream beach – I don’t know what will! YUM!
Right?? Makes me wanna pack a beach tote & cooler 😉
I so need one of these right now!
Ha! Me too 😉
Beautiful Marla!! xo
Thanks Jenny 🙂
I love cocktails, and lately I have been indulging a lot. We are remodeling our home, and I have found that after a day of dealing with the tradesmen, making decisions and all that goes along with this endeavor. a cocktail is a most welcome thing.
Your Sparkling Seabreeze Cocktail is beautiful and utterly tempting. Plus I have everything I need to make it. Well, everything, that is. except the darling little flags you made.
I have never been on a cruise, so I am afraid I can not offer any words of wisdom. But I bet you will have a wonderful time. Cheers!
Congratulations on your collaboration, and I love your site. This is my first visit, I saw a comment you left at Tutti Dolci, and I decided to pop over. I am so glad I took the time to visit. I’ll be a regular reader now. And your Seabreeze will be today’s drink. Mille grazie!
Hi Adri!! Thanks for such a sweet comment & an insight into what you have been up to. As exciting as remodeling is ~ I know the stress & decisions can be worthy of a fine cocktail. Hope all is going well there & that you had a relaxing weekend with sea breeze in hand. Looking forward to sharing my cruise with you all. So glad you are a new pal over here 🙂
looks fabulous Marla! Sorry i didn’t make it to Telluride in June. My dad was ill. Long story! Miss talking to you 🙁
This looks awesome! My kind of cocktail!
Love the way this cocktail looks! It sound pretty simple to make.
