Today, we’re putting an Tainted Cork twist on this classic cocktail. Ready for some beach-inspired magic? Let’s dive right in!
Ingredients:
- 45 ml Vodka: Choose your favourite brand, but ensure it's smooth and clean.
- 15 ml Peach Schnapps: This will give your drink that distinct fruity note.
- 30 ml Cranberry Juice: Tangy and refreshing, cranberry juice is key to this mix.
- 30 ml Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed, if possible, for the best flavour.
- Orange Slice(for garnish): A little burst of colour and citrus to finish it off.
- Maraschino Cherry (optional garnish): For a classic, slightly indulgent touch.
1. Prepare Your Glass: Begin by filling a highball glass with ice cubes. This will help keep your drink chilled and refreshing.
2. Combine Your Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry juice, and orange juice. Adding the ingredients to a shaker ensures that the flavours mix well and the drink reaches a satisfyingly cold temperature.
3. Shake It Up: Secure the lid on your shaker and give it a good shake for about 15 seconds. You want your drink to be well chilled.
4. Pour and Serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared highball glass over the ice.
5. Garnish: Add an orange slice to the rim of your glass for a zesty touch. If you're feeling a bit more decorative, pop a maraschino cherry on top.
6. Enjoy: Sip and transport yourself to a sun-soaked Australian beach. Feel that relaxation?
Tips for the Perfect Sex on the Beach Cocktail:
- Fresh Juice: The quality of your juice plays a huge role in the taste of your cocktail. Opt for freshly squeezed orange juice for the best results.
- Check Your Ice: Use good quality, fresh ice. Old ice can carry unwanted flavours.
- Chill Your Glass: For an extra-refreshing touch, chill your glassware in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes before serving.
