Step 1:

Gather your ingredients. You’ll need a glass, ice, vodka, cranberry juice, and grapefruit juice, although it tastes better if you can get fresh grapefruits and squeeze them yourself. These are common items you can find at your local grocery store.

Step 2:

While you’re at the store, you might accidentally run into your ex-wife and her newborn baby (not yours). If this happens, stare at the ground while she tries to tell you she still has feelings for you. Leave abruptly.

Step 3:

If you bought fresh grapefruits, squeeze them now for juice. Get all your ingredients out and ready for mixing!

Step 4:

Punch a window. Make sure to bandage your hand, you don’t want blood getting into the drink.

Step 5:

Pour the ice into the glass. Then pour about 1–1/2 ounces of vodka into the glass, followed by 1 oz of grapefruit juice and 1 oz of cranberry juice.

Step 6:

Contemplate existence. Suppress any strong emotions that might bubble to the surface.

Step 7:

Give the drink a quick stir. Have a quick taste, and adjust as needed. Congratulations, you’ve just made the Manchester by the Sea Breeze!

Final Step:

The proper way to drink a Manchester by the Sea Breeze is on a boat. If you happen to order this drink at your local bar, make sure not to make eye contact or interact with anyone. Sullenly drink by yourself. If anyone even looks at you the wrong way, sucker punch them.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully learned how to make this drink and mask your grief!
