Sex on the beach cocktail drink recipe


General types

There are two general types of the cocktail:

  • The first type is made from vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice. This is an International Bartenders Association Official Cocktail.
  • The second type is made from vodka, Chambord, Midori Melon Liqueur, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice. This type is listed in the Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide.

    • The drink is built over ice in a highball glass and garnished with orange slice. Sometimes they are mixed in smaller amounts and served as a shooter.

    Variations

    Several variations are sometimes referred to by the same name:

  • Hard Rock Cafe's recipe is based on the second form, calling for vodka, Midori, Chambord, lemon juice, pineapple juice and sugar syrup, shaken and strained over ice into a Collins glass.
  • Other variations use both orange juice and pineapple juice.
  • Coconut rum is often substituted for the vodka.
  • Grenadine is sometimes used in place of cranberry juice, especially in locales where cranberry juice is hard to come by.
  • Amaretto is sometimes added for extra flavor.
  • Sex on the Beach is often made as a shooter by using half vodka, half peach schnapps and a bit of grenadine.
  • Yet another variation of the basic Vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, & cranberry juice recipe is the addition of apple schnapps. This recipe can be served as either a cocktail or a shooter.

    • Some derivative variations have their own names:

  • "Sex on Fire" is Sex on the Beach with Fireball Cinnamon Whisky in place of the vodka.
  • A "Woo Woo" is Sex on the Beach without orange juice.
  • The alcohol-free variation is sometimes referred to as "Safe Sex on the Beach" or "Virgins on the Beach".
