Sex on the Beach

General types

• The first type is made from vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice. This is an International Bartenders Association Official Cocktail.
• The second type is made from vodka, Chambord, Midori Melon Liqueur, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice. This type is listed in the Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide.

Variations

• Hard Rock Cafe's recipe is based on the second form, calling for vodka, Midori, Chambord, lemon juice, pineapple juice and sugar syrup, shaken and strained over ice into a Collins glass.
• Other variations use both orange juice and pineapple juice.
• Coconut rum is often substituted for the vodka.
• Grenadine is sometimes used in place of cranberry juice, especially in locales where cranberry juice is hard to come by.
• Amaretto is sometimes added for extra flavor.
• Sex on the Beach is often made as a shooter by using half vodka, half peach schnapps and a bit of grenadine.
• Yet another variation of the basic Vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, & cranberry juice recipe is the addition of apple schnapps. This recipe can be served as either a cocktail or a shooter.

• "Sex on Fire" is Sex on the Beach with Fireball Cinnamon Whisky in place of the vodka.
• A "sex in the driveway" is a sex on the beach with orange juice and cranberry juice replaced with blue curaçao and Sprite.
• A "Woo Woo" is Sex on the Beach without orange juice.
• The alcohol-free variation is sometimes referred to as "Safe Sex on the Beach," "Cuddles on the Beach," or "Virgins on the Beach".
