Review

Sweet fruitiness masks the alcohol in this easy-drinking, long cocktail.

"Sex" is associated with red (e.g.red light district) and is represented in this drink in the form of vodka, cranberry juice, and black raspberry liqueur. These 'sexy' ingredients sit atop the sandy yellow "beach"– consisting of peach schnapps, orange juice, and pineapple juice.

Variations/similar cocktails

A cocktail from the 1980s with numerous different recipes, this layered version by yours truly.

Although I’m not used to seeing this cocktail made like this, the inclusion of Chambord and pineapple juice as well as making this cocktail layered, gives this cocktail a nice twist without it tasting unpleasant, which would definitely be great drink to have by the pool

Tried this and loved it! The raspberry liqueur makes it; so much better than all those cheap sports bar versions!

Thank you for a recipe where the layers are not inverted! Makes me happy when I see it like this.

This is the nicest SOTB recipe I have tasted. It isn't as teeth-coatingly sweet as the grenadine versions.
