The Sex on the Beach cocktail is a popular fruity drink known for its sweet and refreshing taste. It combines vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice to create a visually appealing and delicious cocktail. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 ounces vodka
- 1/2 ounce peach schnapps
- 2 ounces orange juice
- 2 ounces cranberry juice
- Ice cubes
- Orange slice and maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions:
- Fill a Glass with Ice: Start by filling a highball glass with ice cubes to the top.
- Add Vodka and Peach Schnapps: Pour the vodka and peach schnapps over the ice.
- Add Orange and Cranberry Juice: Slowly add the orange juice and then the cranberry juice to create a layering effect. If you prefer the drink to be well-mixed, you can skip the layering and just add the juices directly.
- Garnish and Serve: Gently stir the drink if you haven’t layered it. Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry on the rim of the glass or floating on top.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the fruity, refreshing taste of the Sex on the Beach cocktail.
Tips:
- Layering: To achieve a more distinct layering effect, pour the cranberry juice slowly over the back of a spoon onto the drink. This helps the juice spread evenly across the top without mixing too much with the orange juice.
- Variations: You can adjust the ratio of juices according to your taste preference. Some like it sweeter with more cranberry juice, while others might prefer a stronger orange flavor.
- Serving: For a more tropical presentation, serve the cocktail in a hurricane glass and add a decorative umbrella or other tropical garnishes.
The Sex on the Beach cocktail is perfect for summer parties, beach gatherings, or any occasion when you’re in the mood for a sweet, vibrant drink that’s easy to make and universally enjoyable.
