The earliest known invention of the cocktail and name dates back to 1987 in Florida, USA. A distributor had just begun to sell a new product, peach schnapps, in the autumn. With many tourists due for the spring holiday the distributor devised a contest that would pay the bar that sold the most peach schnapps a bonus of $1000 and the bartender that was responsible at that bar for the highest sales would receive $100.
A young bartender named Ted, working at Confetti's Bar, mixed up a peach schnapps, vodka, orange juice and grenadine cocktail. When Ted began to sell the drink, he was asked what it was called. On the spot, Ted thought what the main reason was that people came to Florida for their Spring break - it was The Beach and Sex.
"Sex on the Beach!" he replied, and as the drink gained fame that spring, thousands of students returned home and asked their local bartenders for 'Sex on the Beach.' The bartenders did not know how to make a drink they had never heard of so they asked around and this led to the many regional variations of the drink.
Vodka
We then blended the fruits with a smooth triple-distilled pure grain vodka for memorable smoothness and crystal clear punch.
Orange
We used a luscious mix of several different types of oranges, including the navel orange, red navel orange, Valencia orange, sweet orange...
Peach
The rich flavour, luscious white-pink flesh and mild sweetness of peaches are perfect. And we always like a touch of sweetness in our lives.
Cranberry
Originally "crane berry," because the vine blossoms resembled the neck, head and bill of a crane. We use them for their taste not their looks. They add a nice bitter twist to complement the sweetness of the peach.
Grapes Grapes galor...we used only the finest grapes from Italy, gently squeezed to get a clear sweet nectar. They make a fine sweetness.
