Directions
The Sex on the Beach cocktail is part of the great family of the long drink made with vodka and owes its success to the clean, essential flavor that distinguishes it. Just like the cousins’ Screwdriver and Sea breeze, it’s a refreshing and direct cocktail that relies on the “sweet sharpness” of the fresh orange juice to create a well-balanced mix.
The orange juice cut the heat of vodka, while in the background, you can detect the sweet and fragrant notes of the peach liqueur: the cranberry juice adds a sour note that makes the cocktail irresistible and easy to drink.
The Sex on the Beach is the classic swimming pool party drink to sip during summertime, but with the season of red oranges at full steam, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it and drink this great cocktail.
The orange juice is the most critical ingredient: let’s choose the not too sweet ones: the peach liqueur is sweet enough.
The history of the Sex on the Beach is quite simple, and familiar to many cocktails: he was born in the 80s, in the United States, driven by commercial reasons to promote the “Peach Tree” liqueur of the DeKuyperun and the Suntory Midori.
Yes, because there is also a Sex on the Beach recipe made with Midori: after we see the ingredients of the second recipe, do not worry.
