Tips for the best Sex on the Beach cocktail
Fresh kick
If you want to give the cocktail a special “fresh kick”, you should definitely use fresh cranberry juice and fresh pineapple juice. Cranberry juice is usually hard to find in Germany. Pineapple juice, on the other hand, you can usually buy fresh or make yourself. Try it and enjoy the fresh drink.
American classic
Despite the base spirit vodka (usually from Poland or Russia), this cocktail became famous in America. It stands as one of the rare sweet vodka cocktails in a line of tart whisky cocktails. Be sure to try the drink and experience what mixed drinks America has to offer.
Vodka, vodka, vodka
The choice of vodka isn’t all that important when making this cocktail. Rather, the sweet, fruity taste is the main focus. Nevertheless, don’t go for the cheapest spirit. Choose a decent mid-range product and enjoy the cocktail properly.
