Sex on the Beach Drink Recipe Easy
Jump to Recipe
Please, no puns on the name of the Sex on the Beach cocktail recipe. Whatever you think of – it's been done. Yes, even if your friends giggle and snort, that's just because they're a bunch of doofuses. And so are you. But what the hell?
That's what kind of a drink it is – fun, silly, light-hearted, easy-going fruity cocktail. And so delicious. Really a terrific flavor.
This is a stealth drink – meaning it tastes weaker than it is. All that tasty fruit juice covers two full ounces of vodka plus an ounce of peach schnapps. And in this version, there's an added magic ingredient.
So while the alcohol flavor is mild enough for most new or occasional drinkers, the potency is actually a little higher than most cocktails. And that can lead to…unintended and sometimes funny consequences.
Just be aware this drink can sneak up on you. It's not quite like a Long Island Iced Tea, but you may find yourself wobblier than expected after a couple of these.
When cocktail recipes vary: which fruit juice juice?
The IBA version of this recipe calls for orange juice. That said, a lot of times when I've had it at bars, they gave me grapefruit juice. If you love grapefruit juice, definitely feel free to make it that way. I've even seen versions of this recipe that call for pineapple juice.
When you're ordering this at a bar or restaurant, you might want to specify which fruit juice you prefer. Either way, the flavor is sweet and fruity, but not overwhelmingly so.
The Magic Ingredient
Now let's talk about that magic ingredient. Someone once suggested adding a teaspoon of lemon juice, which I tried based on a reader suggestion in the comments. I think it takes this drink to a whole new level.
You really don't notice the lemon flavor, but it adds a little more tartness and awow factor that wakes up your taste buds. It cuts the sweetness a little.
It's subtle, but somehow it makes a big difference. And the classic recipe doesn't include it, so feel free to try it both ways. This is certainly a drink that every bartender likes to tweak, and so can you.
When to serve a Sex on the Beach cocktail
The Sex on the Beach is one of those drinks that's easy to take anytime, any place. I think of it as perfect for relaxing and refreshing on a hot afternoon.
But it's also great for a night out dancing. The fruit juice gives you a little bit of sugar and hydration to keep up your energy.
It's also a great drink for parties. There are even a few recipes for a non-alcoholic version for the non-drinkers, which I call Cuddles on the Beach.
Because there's no shaking and straining, it's easy to make in big batches ahead of time. This makes it easy to refill or top up guests' drinks.
At parties, you can put it in a beverage dispenser and let guests serve themselves. That makes it especially great for barbecues and other casual get-togethers and frees you up to enjoy yourself more.
Hardly anyone will say no to this cocktail. It's one of those drinks that has such an easygoing flavor that most everyone loves it.
If you like this drink, be sure to check out the Cosmopolitan, which has a similar blend of citrus and cranberry juice, but it's overall lighter and brighter. It's an easy drink to love. And the Mountain Breeze is also all about the citrus and cranberry flavors.
