Vodka
Sex on the Beach
A blend of citrus and berry juices with peach‑scented liqueur creates a bright, easy‑drinking cocktail that can be assembled in under a minute. Using only vodka, peach schnapps, orange and cranberry juice, you pour the ingredients over ice in a highball glass, give a gentle stir, and finish with an orange slice. The result is a refreshing, lightly sweet drink that suits casual gatherings or a quick solo sip after work on a warm evening.
