The Sex on the Beach became popular in the 1980s and quickly became known for its playful name and easy drinking style. It is a product of that era’s love for bright, fruity cocktails.
Made with vodka, peach, orange, and cranberry, it is sweet, refreshing, and instantly recognisable. It is not trying to be complex, and that is part of its appeal. It is a drink that leans fully into fun.
