Sex on the Beach

Easy

A modern classic, Sex on the Beach has a name you won’t forget, but one that shouldn’t hide the qualities of subtly sweet fruit plus a backbone of clean, smooth Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka.

About this recipe

Sex on the Beach is effectively a Cosmopolitan with Archers Peach Schnapps, plus orange juice instead of Grand Marnier – a cocktail with serious credentials in other words, as well as being the ideal relaxing holiday mixed drink. Popularised by Tom Cruise in the 1988 film Cocktail, it was adapted in 1997 into the Gulf Coast Sex on the Beach by Roberto Canino and Wayne Collins at Navajo Joe in London, using banana and green melon liqueur, fresh pineapple juice, plus rum. This recipe was then listed in a similar form, as the official Sex on the Beach recipe in the 2008 edition of Mr Boston Official Bartender’s Guide. The International Bartenders Association Archers lists its official Sex on the Beach recipe as comprising Peach Schnapps, Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka, orange juice and cranberry juice, shaken together and then strained into a Highball glass. With the sweet edge to this cocktail plus fruit juice, a good Sex on the Beach needs to be served ice cold. Turn it into a shot without the juices and with a pour of half vodka and half peach schnapps, plus a drop of grenadine. Or you can adapt the recipe to create two other classic cocktails from the 1980s. Leave out the orange juice in your Sex on the Beach for the Woo Woo. Keep the orange, but remove both cranberry juice and Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka for another icon of this decade of sweet-tinged fruity cocktails, the Fuzzy Navel. These are great party drinks that your guests will love, so play around with the tasty fruit flavours to find the one that suits the occasion best.
