General types

There are two general types of the cocktail:

• The IBA official cocktail is made from vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice.
• The 2008 Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide (67th edition) provides an alternative recipe made from vodka, Chambord, Midori Melon Liqueur, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice.^[1]

The drink is built over ice in a highball glass and garnished with an orange slice.^[2] Sometimes they are mixed in smaller amounts and served as a shooter.

Variations

Some derivative variations have their own names:

• A "sex in the driveway" is a sex on the beach with orange juice and cranberry juice replaced with blue curaçao and Sprite.^[3]
• A "woo woo" is a sex on the beach without orange juice.^[4]
• The alcohol-free variation is sometimes referred to as "safe sex on the beach", "cuddles on the beach", or "virgin(s) on the beach".^[5]
