Fruity, pink and easy to love – the Sex on the Beach is one of the world’s best-known party cocktails. In short: it’s vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice and cranberry juice over ice, and a home-made one usually lands around 10–14% ABV before the ice melts. Ready-made versions in Jordan range from 4.7% (Le Coq) to 15% (Yachting).
The classic recipe
- 40 ml vodka
- 20 ml peach schnapps
- 40 ml orange juice
- 40 ml cranberry juice
Build over ice in a tall glass, stir gently and garnish with an orange slice. That’s the internationally recognised ratio: equal parts vodka, orange and cranberry with half as much peach schnapps.
How much alcohol is in a Sex on the Beach?
With 40 ml of 40% vodka and 20 ml of 18% peach schnapps, the drink contains about 20 ml of pure alcohol in roughly 140 ml of liquid – around 14% ABV before ice dilution, closer to 10–12% as the ice melts. That’s similar to one and a half standard drinks.
