Notes

Classic sex on the beach drink recipe with layered cranberry and orange juice
This easy Sex on the Beach drink recipe features beautiful layers of fruity flavors and bright summer colors.
  • Use chilled vodka and juices for the best flavor and presentation.
  • Fresh orange juice gives a brighter, smoother taste than bottled juice.
  • For a stronger cocktail, add up to ½ oz extra vodka and reduce juice slightly.
  • Prefer a lighter drink? Add a splash of club soda or lemon-lime soda.
  • To make a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka and peach schnapps with peach nectar and sparkling water.
  • Serve immediately over ice to maintain the vibrant color and refreshing taste.
  • Garnish with an orange slice, cherry, or peach wedge for a classic bar-style look.
