What is Sex On The Beach Cocktail?
Sex on the Beach (or “S.O.T.B.”) is a cocktail that was created in the late 1950s by George T. Smith, who was a bartender at the original Copacabana in New York City. He named it after his favorite beach in the area, Sands Point Beach, where he would spend time during his breaks from working at the Copa.
It’s made with cranberry juice, orange juice, vodka, and peach schnapps—and it’s one of the most popular drinks among bartenders today!
Why is it so popular? Well, for starters, it’s easy to make! All you need is some fruit juice (or bottled) and vodka (or white rum), plus a little bit of peach schnapps for flavor if you want more sweetness in your drink. Plus it tastes great! You can serve this cocktail either chilled or hot—though we definitely recommend serving cold because it will taste better that way.
