Sex on the Beach — A fruity, colorful classic summer cocktail 🍹☀️🍑

Sex on the Beach is a classic cocktail from the 1980s. Combining vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice, the cocktail boasts a balanced sweet and sour flavor, a light and smooth texture, and vibrant, elegant colors. It's a classic summertime cold drink. Perfect for Hong Kong's scorching heat or at various parties, it instantly transports you to a vibrant tropical beach atmosphere. I've found this drink to be incredibly enjoyable and relaxing for everyone, young and old!

Taste and flavor characteristics

The Sexy Beach Drink is sweet and tart. The fruity aroma of peach liqueur and the sweet and sour taste of fresh orange juice form the base, while cranberry juice adds a subtle acidity and vibrant color. Vodka brings a refreshing aroma and lightness, all blending into a refreshing, alluring, and layered fruit drink. I particularly like its light, non-cloying taste, which evokes a relaxing feeling of sunshine and beach.

Sharing from the editor's perspective

• Peach liqueur is the soul, so it is recommended to choose a brand with rich fruity aroma and sweet taste.

• Try to use fresh orange juice, which will give you a stronger sense of vitality. If you don’t have fresh orange juice on hand, you can choose unsweetened freshly squeezed orange juice.

• Cranberry juice must have a sweet taste that balances the acidity, and the unsweetened version tends to be more tart.

• You can also replace orange juice with pineapple juice depending on your mood for a more tropical flavor.

• Paired with colorful straws and tropical decorations, it's a visual highlight of any party.

• It is very suitable for summer gatherings and dates, and is also one of the most popular cocktails in brunch dining.
