Cocktail Description

The Minty Bee Breeze strikes a perfect balance between tart citrus and delicate sweetness, with bright herbal notes that make it impossible to stop at just one sip.

This refreshing Collins-style cocktail combines Ketel One Vodka with a harmonious blend of freshly squeezed lime and pink grapefruit juices, while runny honey provides a natural sweetness that's complemented by quality grenadine. Fresh mint leaves infuse the drink with an aromatic coolness that lingers pleasantly with each taste. The Minty Bee Breeze is surprisingly simple to make—the trickiest part is ensuring the honey fully dissolves in the vodka before adding other ingredients. It's an ideal choice for spring and summer gatherings, particularly brunches or afternoon garden parties where its vibrant appearance and refreshing profile shine brightest. The cocktail pairs wonderfully with light seafood dishes like ceviche or grilled shrimp, and also complements fruit-forward desserts such as lemon tart or berry pavlova.
