What is Sex on the beach?

If there’s one cocktail that perfectly captures carefree summer energy, it’s the Sex on the Beach. This iconic vodka cocktail blends peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry for a vibrant, fruit-forward drink that’s equal parts refreshing and dangerously easy to sip. Whether you’re poolside, hosting a backyard party, or just craving something bright and nostalgic, this cocktail delivers sweet, tangy satisfaction in every glass.

What makes this drink timeless is its balance. The peach adds softness, cranberry brings that tart pop, and the citrus ties it all together. It’s simple, crowd-pleasing, and endlessly photogenic, which is probably why it still dominates menus and party tables decades later. If you love fruity classics, you might also enjoy the Bay Breeze or the ever-popular Woo Woo for similar beach-bar vibes.

Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
