Sex on the Beach is one of the most popular fruity cocktails in the world — a vibrant, easy-drinking blend of vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice that tastes as fun as its name implies. Born in the 1980s during the peak of the flavored schnapps craze, the drink became a bar staple for its brilliant orange-pink color, tropical sweetness, and total approachability. It's light enough for day drinking, fruity enough to convert non-cocktail drinkers, and festive enough to anchor any beach party or backyard barbecue. Sometimes controversial in name but never in flavor, it remains a crowd-pleasing classic more than four decades after its creation.
