Making a Traditional Sex on the Beach

  1. Pour all of the liquid ingredients into a shaker filled with ice cubes. Pour 1.5 oz (45ml.) of peach schnapps, 1.5 oz (45ml.) of vodka, 2 oz. (60ml.) of cranberry juice, 2 oz. (60ml.) of orange juice, and 2 oz. (60ml.) of pineapple juice into a shaker. The ice will cool down the ingredients.
  2. Shake it well. Shake the shaker for at least 15 seconds to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Strain the mixture into a highball glass. This is the perfect glass for serving this drink. It's a tall drink that should be enjoyed over a relatively long period of time.
  4. Garnish the drink. Garnish the drink by placing an orange slice on the rim.
  5. Serve. Place a maraschino cherry on the rim of the glass and enjoy it immediately.

Tips

  • For an alternative approach using crème de cassis, substitute using less peach schnapps and an additional half ounce of crème de cassis. The amount of vodka and juices remain the same:
    • 0.5 oz (15 ml) crème de cassis
    • 0.75 oz (22.5 ml) peach schnapps
    • 1.5 oz (45ml) vodka
    • 2 oz (60 ml) orange juice
    • 2 oz (60 ml) cranberry juice
