This Sex On The Beach contains cranberry juice, peach liqueur (or peach schnapps) and orange juice. We always recommend that you stay away from the store-bought stuff and squeeze your own oranges. Freshly squeezed juice will make your drink taste a whole lot better.
And don’t forget the cherry on top! The cherry is usually overlooked as “just a prop”, but it actually does a lot to elevate the drinking experience! Some bartenders will go for an orange slice as well, but we think that the cherry is where the magic happens.
