The disco cocktail ‘Sex on the Beach’ recipe has had a Candra makeover. There’s really nothing wrong with the flavour profile of a Sex on the Beach. Sweet delicate peach and fresh orange balanced by the dry and tart character of cranberry with a backbone of Vodka.
The biggest problem with the original Sex on the Beach was that it’s ratio of ingredients created a long, sweet juice drink with Vodka in it. The issue with the drinking experience, was usually compounded by the use of cheap ingredients and orange juice from a carton.
This version is a punchier, more grown-up variation on the original Sex on the Beach, closer in style to a Cosmopolitan or Breakfast Martini. All the flavours are there, but they’re simply more intense and in balance.
When it comes to the cranberry sauce or jelly. Depending on what you use, and if its store bought or homemade, there may be a difference in its sweetness. If so, you may need to adjust the recipe with a dash of sugar or a splash of fresh lemon juice, to ensure the drink is in perfect balance. As always, make sure to taste test your drinks before straining into your glass, and adjust if necessary.
