Imagine a sunny beach day packed into a glass – that’s the Sex on the Beach cocktail for you! This drink is all about fun, flavor, and a little bit of whimsy. It’s a popular choice for those who love a sweet, fruity taste with a kick. Whether you’re at a party or just chilling at home, this cocktail brings the vacation vibes to you.

Tasting Notes

Sex on the Beach is a delightful mix of sweet and tangy. The juicy flavors of peach, orange, and cranberry blend perfectly with the smoothness of vodka. It’s like a fruit basket in a glass, with a vibrant, refreshing taste that’s not too heavy. The finish is smooth with a slight buzz from the vodka, making it a perfect summer sipper.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Vodka
  • 0.5 oz Peach Schnapps
  • 0.5 oz Chambord or Creme de Cassis
  • 1.5oz oz Orange Juice
  • 1.5 oz Cranberry Juice
  • Orange slice and cherry for garnish

Instructions

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
  2. Pour the vodka and peach schnapps over the ice.
  3. Add the orange juice and cranberry juice.
  4. Stir well.
  5. Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry on top.

Pro Tips

  • For a clearer layering effect, pour the cranberry juice slowly over the back of a spoon.
  • Adjust the juice ratios to suit your taste. More cranberry juice adds tartness, while more orange juice makes it sweeter.
  • Chill your ingredients beforehand for a refreshing, cold cocktail.
