Your ultimate Sex on the Beach Drink recipe: a tropical marriage of orange and cranberry juices, vodka or rum with a hint of peach and vanilla over ice.
Let’s just admit it: nobody loves Mondays right? But a tropical fruity drink takes the edge of the most dreaded day of the week. Perfect for summer parties and Valentine’s Day too.
This is what you’ll need:
- Orange and Cranberry Juices (or Pineapple )
- Vodka, Rum, Tequila or Triple Sec
- Peach Schnapps
- Ice Cubes
My secret ingredient: a float of Madagascar vanilla extract!
I create layers of flavors straight over the ice in highball glasses, starting with the alcohol and finishing with the vanilla. The ingredients naturally mix together but while keeping an individual profile at the same time.
However, you can also make a large batch in a pitcher to have for a crowd, but without the alcohol and vanilla. Add those as a float when serving, so it still looks like a fancy, layered drink 😉
Sex On The Beach Drink
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka or rum
- 3.5 oz orange juice freshly squeezed
- 3.5 oz cranberry juice

Instructions
- Fill 2 high ball glasses with ice cubes 3/4 of the way up.
- Divide the vodka or rum between the two glasses, top with the cranberry, orange juice and a splash of the peach snaps on top. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract as a float to each glass and enjoy !

Wow, these photos are gorgeous, Florentina! Sex on the Beach cocktails totally remind me of college…and drinking way too many! But my college drinks never looked quite this good! 🙂
One of my all-time favorites 🙂 My recipe, however, is a little bit different. Bookmarking yours to try next weekend!
This cocktail is right up my street as love the Peach schnapps!
This looks so refreshing, can’t wait until it’s 5 oclock!
when I was in college this drink was so popular and now I cant remember the last time I had one!
Now is the perfect time to have 2 😉
Beautiful drink made with some of my favorite cocktail ingredients! Love the touch of vanilla, which is new for me. I will try.
I wonder if Absolut Vanilla vodka would take care of both vodka and the vanilla?
Not sure, worth giving a try tough, report back 🙂
Guava Juice in place or in addition to the Cranberry Juice highly recommended adds a little more fruit beach taste to it.
