What are the main ingredients in a Sex on the Beach cocktail?

Vodka, Peach Schnapps, Orange Juice and Cranberry Juice are the usual suspects.

Is Sex on the Beach cocktail a strong drink?

Not particularly. With fruit juices diluting the spirits, it's designed to be dangerously drinkable rather than those particularly strong liquors. The sweetness masks the alcohol content, which is exactly why it's the drink of choice for people who want to feel fancy without feeling the full force of the spirits. Pace yourself anyway, because after three of these, you'll understand how perfect "criminal partners" sugar and alcohol are.

Can I make a non-alcoholic version for the Sex on the Beach cocktail?

Absolutely! Substitute peach nectar for the schnapps, skip the vodka, and you've got yourself a Virgin on the Beach. Some bartenders call it "Cuddles on the Beach", proving that family friendly versions can be just as delicious, even if the names aren't quite as memorable.

Can I batch Sex on the Beach cocktails for parties?

Sure. Scale up your volumes, mix everything except the ice in a large pitcher, keep it chilled, and pour over ice when ready to serve.

Is the name appropriate for all occasions?

Well, the name is playful and a little cheeky. It's perfect for relaxed settings, holiday bars or fun gatherings. Maybe less ideal for very formal or conservative events where subtlety is key.

What if I don't have cranberry juice?

You can substitute with pomegranate juice, or even grenadine for a sweeter, deeper red version, but you'll be straying from "classic".

What glass should I use for the the Sex on the Beach cocktail?

A highball glass (tall, filled with ice) is traditional. Some bars might use a Collins glass or even a hurricane glass for flair.
