History of cocktail sex on the beach

Its history is difficult to reconstruct, but its origin can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s, when vodka was increasingly used in America as a basis for creating cocktails. Also in the same period, the importation of the so-called Peach Schnapps , i.e. peach liqueurs, began: thus the first fruity drinks were born.

Then, in 1987, an American liquor company decided to organize a competition to advertise the peach schnapp. Ted Pizio then decided to mix it with vodka, orange juice and cranberry juice, and his was really a great success : thus Sex on the beach was born.

There is another version regarding the origin of the name of the cocktail, according to which it was initially called "Fun on The Beach" , made with vodka, midori, chambord, pineapple juice and cranberry juice, giving the cocktail a very sweet taste. However, in Europe in the 1980s, midori was hard to come by , so the "fun on the beach" established itself as the drink of choice and later changed its name to the current "Sex on the beach".
