Sex on the Beach

The Sex on the Beach cocktail is famous for both its playful name and its vibrant flavour. This classic combines vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, cranberry juice, and a splash of crème de cassis for a drink that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious. Popularized in the 1980s, the Sex on the Beach has become an iconic vodka cocktail, with colours reminiscent of a sunset and flavours that evoke a carefree summer holiday.

The key about this cocktail is to mix the orange and the peach “beach” then the cranberry, and the vodka “sex” separately and layer them.
