Sex on the Beach (Florida)

sherrycobblerPeachy, tart, and citrusy, the Sex On The Beach cocktail is the perfect drink to wind down with after a long day. It's also a favourite beach drink. According to bartender lore, the cocktail was invented by a bartender named Ted who was working at Confetti's Bar. Inspired by a promotion from a peach schnapps company to sell the most of this spirit, he invented a cocktail featuring it. And he named it Sex on the Beach because he assumed "sex" and "the beach" were the two main reasons why spring breakers - big bar clientele in Florida - visited the state.
