The tangy cranberry juice and citrusy orange juice both bring plenty of fruity flavor to this tasty cocktail, while the vodka and peach schnapps give it a grown-up kick, making it the ideal summer cocktail.

And, of course, you can never go wrong with an orange slice and cherry to fancy up your drink a bit.

You’ll need:

• 1 cup of ice
• 1½ ounces of cranberry juice cocktail
• ½ ounce of grenadine
• 1½ ounces of vodka
• ½ ounce of peach schnapps
• 1½ ounces of 100% pulp-free orange juice (not from concentrate)
• Slice of orange that has been cut in half (I use navel oranges), garnish
• 1 maraschino cherry with stem, garnish

Substitutions And Additions

VODKA: Keep your vodka simple for this drink. You want to use at least a mid-grade vodka variety. It does not need to be top shelf as it is being mixed with the fruit drinks.

CRANBERRY JUICE: Make sure you use a cranberry juice cocktail (not 100% juice with no sugar added), as this drink requires a higher sugar content to allow the red layer to stay separated from the orange layer.

As a rule, the higher sugar liquids tend to sink, and the less sugar ones tend to blend quicker.

How To Make This Sex On The Beach Drink Recipe

Follow our instructions below to create the pretty layers featured in this drink. Garnish your glass and enjoy!

STEP ONE: Fill a 10-ounce tall (highball) glass with ice (approximately 1 cup).

STEP TWO: Start layering your drink in the ice-filled glass by first adding the cranberry juice cocktail, followed by the grenadine, vodka, and peach schnapps.

STEP THREE: When adding the orange juice, you will want to slowly pour the orange juice into the glass, being careful not to mix the layers as much as possible.

STEP FOUR: Garnish the rim of the glass with a slice of orange and the maraschino cherry.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup ice
• 1½ ounces cranberry juice cocktail
• ½ ounce grenadine
• 1½ ounces vodka
• ½ ounce peach schnapps
• 1½ ounces 100% pulp-free orange juice, not from concentrate
• 1 slice orange that has been cut in half, garnish (I use navel oranges)
• 1 maraschino cherry with stem, garnish

Instructions

 

• Fill a 10-ounce tall (highball) glass with ice (approximately 1 cup).
• Start layering your drink by first adding the cranberry juice cocktail, followed by the grenadine, vodka, and peach schnapps.
• When adding the orange juice, you will want to slowly pour the orange juice into the glass, being careful not to mix the layers as much as possible.
• Garnish the rim of the glass with a slice of orange and the maraschino cherry.

Notes

• You can use the fresh navel orange as the juice for this fruity cocktail drink. I suggest slicing off a piece for your garnish prior to juicing your orange. You will have some pulp in your drink if you are using fresh-squeezed juice.
• Use a paring knife to cut a little slit in the bottom of the cherry and the orange slice so that they sit firmly on the edge of the glass
• You can add a colorful straw to the glass and give your sex on the beach drink a stir with the straw to combine the layers before enjoying your drink.
