Zutaten

For the Sex on the Beach

40 ml vodka
40 ml peach liqueur
80 ml pineapple juice
40 ml cranberry syrup
40 ml orange juice
Ice cube
Orange slice
Pineapple chunk
Cocktail cherry

Barstuff

Boston Shaker^*
Hurricane glass
Bar strainer^*
Drinking Straw

Zubereitung

Mix all ingredients with ice in a shaker.

Add fresh ice cubes to a pre-chilled Hurricane glass and then pour the drink through a bar strainer over the top.

Garnish with an orange slice, cocktail cherry or a pineapple chunk and serve with a straw. Ready is your homemade Sex on the Beach cocktail.

Hint:

For a particularly beautiful color gradient, pour the cranberry syrup into the glass rather than mixing it with the rest of the ingredients. Then pour the remaining ingredients from the shaker slowly and over the ice cubes into the glass. This way you achieve the least possible mixing and your Sex on the Beach gets the typical color gradient from red to orange.
Instead of the classic cranberry syrup, you can also switch to grenadine^* or syrup made from other types of berries. In the non-alcoholic version Safer Sex on the Beach, vodka and liqueur are replaced by 40 ml each of pineapple juice and orange juice.

The history of Sex on the BEach

As with almost every classic cocktail: the origin of this famous cocktail is not provable beyond doubt. The most famous story about its creation says that it was invented in 1987 in a bar called Confetti’s (Florida, USA) by the young bartender Ted “Teddy” Pizio. When a guest asked him for the name of the cocktail he didn’t know, Ted was inspired by the springbreak vacationers who were there at the time and their behavior, and without further ado christened his creation with the name he knows today.

A nice story, but its truthfulness may well be questioned. What is certain, however, is that the cocktail was first published in the 1982 edition of the book American Bartender’s School – Guide to Drinks – five years before Ted Pizio allegedly invented it.
