History
The cocktail was born in the late 1920s, but the recipe was different from the one used today, as
In the 1930s, a cranberry growers' cooperative evolved into Ocean Spray, which promoted cranberry juice as a mixer with alcohol, first with gin and later with vodka.[4] Ocean Spray created the Red Devil, later called the harpoon or Cape Codder, in 1945,[7] and its descendants such as the greyhound, the salty dog, the bay breeze, and the sea breeze were later created.[4] Starting in the 1960s, the breeze drinks were sporadically in the top ten most popular mixed drinks.[4]
According to some, the sea breeze, along with the Cape Codder and bay breeze, did not become very popular until the 1970s.[8] This was because in 1959, the U.S. Department of Health stated that cranberry crops were tainted with toxic herbicides, collapsing the cranberry industry.[8]
