Sex on the Beach Mocktail: Peach and Cranberry Recipe

A Sex on the Beach mocktail combines orange, cranberry and peach.

Serving inspiration from the ProstZero drink collection: sunset citrus highball

A Sex on the Beach mocktail combines orange, cranberry and peach. Peach nectar and a little water replace vodka and peach liqueur in this version, keeping the drink fruity without needing several syrups.

The quantities make one serving. Measure the ingredients before mixing and chill any mixer. Syrups, juices and bottled alternatives vary in sweetness and acidity, so taste the base before topping up.

Ingredients for one serving

  • 70 ml orange juice
  • 60 ml cranberry juice drink
  • 40 ml peach nectar
  • 20 ml cold water
  • 10 ml lime juice
  • Ice

Method

  1. Measure the juices, nectar, water and lime.
  2. Shake briefly and firmly with ice.
  3. Strain into a tall glass over fresh ice.
  4. Serve with an orange slice.

Getting the balance right

Pure cranberry juice and cranberry juice drink differ in tartness and sweetness. This recipe assumes a juice drink. With very tart pure juice, start with 30 ml and add water. That avoids correcting an overly sour drink with a large quantity of syrup.

Variation and substitutions

For a lighter variation, replace the water with soda and add it after shaking. Apricot nectar can stand in for peach nectar as a deliberate flavour variation.

Preparing several servings

Measure juice, purée and syrup shortly before serving. Add ice and carbonated ingredients when you make the drink. To serve a group, multiply the quantities, but adjust one glass first before mixing the whole pitcher.

Common question

Do I need grenadine for the colour?

No. Cranberry already supplies colour. Grenadine mainly adds more sweetness and should only be used sparingly if desired.
