Kalo Livadi Breeze: Created on the Island of Mykonos

In 1997, my husband and I were lucky enough to spend two unforgettable weeks exploring the magnificent islands of Greece. One warm, sunny day on the island of Mykonos, we stumbled upon the scenic beach of Kalo Livadi. After a delicious seaside lunch, we settled into a pair of lounge chairs by the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean. As the Mediterranean sun blazed overhead, thirst quickly set in. With the help of Bartender Anna, my husband crafted a refreshing drink that we named the Kalo Livadi Breeze. To this day, we still mix it up when we need something cool and thirst-quenching on a hot summer afternoon. Why not give it a try?

Kalo Livadi Breeze

This refreshing cocktail was created on Mykonos back in 1997 by my husband and a bartender on Kalo Livadi Beach. Over the years we refined the recipe to these exact proportions- just enough pineapple juice, not too much cranberry. And the squeeze of lime is a must.
