How To Make A Sex On The Beach Cocktail | Epic Guys Bartending

Epic Guy Randy shows you how to make a Sex on the Beach Cocktail!!!

The origins of the Sex on the Beach are truly unknown. It appeared on the scene in the early 80s, spurred by the introduction into the market of DeKuyper Peachtree Schnapps and Suntory's Midori Melon Liqueur. There are two basic strains of this drink, upon which are build numerous variations. Indeed, this drink is a good illustration to how there is often no "proper" recipe for a drink.

The first type, and arguably the original incarnation, is a logical evolutionary progression from the Fuzzy Navel and the Hairy Navel. It is essentially a Hairy Navel with cranberry juice.

The second type uses Chambord and Midori in place of peach schnapps, and pineapple juice instead of orange juice.

In any event, a Sex on the Beach should have cranberry juice. Bars in areas where cranberry juice is less available have been known to substitute grenadine.
