A Sex on the Beach is an alcoholic cocktail containing vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice and cranberry juice.
General types
There are two general types of the cocktail:
- The IBA official cocktail is made from vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice.[1]
- The 2008 Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide (67th edition) provides an alternative recipe made from vodka, Chambord, Midori Melon Liqueur, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice.[2]
The drink is built over ice in a highball glass and garnished with an orange slice.[1] Sometimes they are mixed in smaller amounts and served as a shooter.
Variations
Some derivative variations have their own names:
- A "sex in the driveway" is a sex on the beach with orange juice and cranberry juice replaced with blue curaçao and Sprite.[3]
- A "Woo Woo" is Sex on the Beach without orange juice.[4]
- The alcohol-free variation is sometimes referred to as "Safe Sex on the Beach," "Cuddles on the Beach," or "Virgins on the Beach".[5]
