Sex on the Beach
The Sex On The Beach Cocktail. There are a couple of different opinions on who created the Sex On The Beach Cocktail. First, a spirits company named National Distribution wanted to boost sales of its new liqueur, peach schnapps. So they launched a contest to award $1,000 to the bar that sold the most peach schnapps and a further $100 to the bartender who made the most sales. So Ted Pizio of Confetti’s Bar in Florida took up the challenge and gave us the cocktail we know today. However, according to some cocktail historians, the recipe for a Sex On The Beach cocktail shows up in the 1982 edition of “American Bartenders School Guide to Drinks.” But I believe it combines a Fuzzy Navel (orange juice and peach schnapps) with a Cape Codder (vodka and cranberry juice).
