Hey there, it’s Jacob Allen from Beyond the Bayou Blog. Today, I want to share a cocktail that brings back memories of my early twenties: The Sex on The Beach. It’s not just a drink; it’s a reminder of summer parties, beach trips, and hanging out with friends.
I remember one particular summer when I was working at a small beach bar. I just graduated and was figuring out what to do with my life. My coworkers and I had a blast experimenting with different drinks after our shifts but I must say among all of them Hugo Spritz and Zombie Cocktail along with the sex on the beach have always been my top choices.
One night, we found an old cocktail recipe book tucked away in the back of the bar. That’s when we first came across the Sex on the Beach cocktail.
It sounded intriguing, so we decided to mix one up. We gathered behind the bar, each person taking on a different task. I was in charge of pouring the vodka, someone else handled the peach schnapps, and another friend squeezed the orange juice. When we finally tasted it, we knew we had a winner.

Here Are Some Cool Tips and Tricks for Making Your Sex on The Beach Cocktail a Hit:
Tip 1. Use Fresh Juice: Trust me, using fresh-squeezed juice instead of the store-bought stuff takes this cocktail to a whole new level. Whether it’s orange juice or cranberry, fresh juice gives you a brighter, more natural flavor. Your taste buds will thank you, and so will your friends.
Tip 2. Chill Your Glass: Before you even start mixing your cocktail, pop your glass in the freezer for a few minutes. When it’s frosty, your drink stays colder longer, which is especially great on a hot day. Plus, it just looks cool when you pour your cocktail into a frosty glass, right?
Tip 3. Get Creative with Garnishes: The classic orange slice and cherry are great, but why not mix it up a bit? I like to add a sprig of fresh mint or even a small wedge of lime for some extra flair. It’s not just about looks” It adds a subtle hint of extra flavor that makes your cocktail feel special. Go ahead and have some fun with it!
