Sex on the Beach

What it tastes like

Bright, citrus-forward. Overall it reads as fruity.

Why this recipe works

Shaking is essential here: it chills, dilutes and aerates the citrus so the Sex on the Beach lands cold, bright and lightly textured.

Ingredient tips

• Hand-squeezed or freshly pressed orange juice tastes far rounder than long-life cartons.

When to serve it

Serve for a group — it scales without losing its character.

Common mistakes

• Shaking too briefly. Shake hard for around 10–12 seconds so the drink chills and dilutes properly.

Variations to try

• No orange juice? Try Fresh-squeezed orange as a substitute (good swap).
