There are two recipes for 'Sex on the Beach' so if you have the chance to experiment between the two I'd like to know which one is your favourite...
The International Bartender's Association Cocktail Recipe for Sex on the Beach is:
25ml Vodka
25ml Peach Schapps
topped evenly with orange juice and cranberry juice.
Nice and simple, just pour the ingredients over ice in a high ball glass.
TGI Friday's recipe is a little more out there! Here it goes:
25ml Vodka
12.5ml Midori (this is a Japanese watermelon liquor)
12.5ml Chambord (which is a wild raspberry liquor from France)
Topped evenly with Pineapple juice and Cranberry juice.
If anyone has had both get in touch and tell me what you think!!!
Bar is open
Glass: Martini
Served: Straight up
Garnish: Sugar rimmed glass with a fresh strawberry
Equipment
Muddler
Boston glass/shaker
Hawthorn strainer
Fine strainer
Ingredients
35ml White Rum
15ml Strawberry Liquor
5 Fresh Strawberries
25ml Sugar Syrup (or 2tsp caster sugar)
1 fresh lime
10ml Orange juice
4tsp Granulated Sugar
Method
Add a sugar rim to your martini glass by slicing your lime in half and wipe the juice onto the rim of the glass, then out the granulated sugar on a plate and put the glass on top of it, sowly turning the glass.
Put your 4 of your strawberries in to the boston glass and muddle them until they are pulped, then add the 25ml of sugar syrup as well as the rum, strawberry liquor and the orange juice. Literally only put in a drop of the orange juice!
Add ice and shaker well. Strain using both the hawthorn strainer and the fine strainer to filter any shards of ice and excess pulp from the strawberries into the rimmed martini glass.
Add a strawberry onto the side of the glass for decoration and your done!
Enjoy
