Ingredients:
- 1 part vodka
- 1 part peach schnapps
- 2 parts cranberry juice
- 2 parts orange juice
Instructions:
Can be either shaken or stirred, with or without ice, but should be served cold. The amount of cranberry & orange can be increased for a weaker drink. Some recipes have grapefruit instead of orange, or also have pineapple juice. It can also be served (probably more commonly) in a Collins glass.
If it looks a little strange in the photo, it’s because the only orange juice I had was freshly squeezed kind with pulp. I never thought I’d say this about a cocktail, but I find this drink too sweet for me. I’m not a fan of sex on the beach.

Amal loves this – and I probably would as well, being an alcohol novice, the closer to juice and things, the more tolerable it is (but perhaps with a bit more ‘experience’ that might change?)

Sex on the beach is an acquired taste.

It’s been a whole day and nobody has mentioned the problem with sand! Readers, I’m very disappointed in you

Whats the problem with sand?

This is one of my favourite Vodka drinks, ever since I asked a barman to make me “something with Vodka in it”

Bahahahahhaha, it might take people with a bit of… err… ‘experience’ to have thought of the sand first off, Sarah

Well, I only know a couple of people who have had practical experience with the sand issue, but in the past I could never mention sex on the beach without someone mentioning sand. I guess we were all just dirty-minded

My thought is, why would you want to have sex on the beach?
Sand is a big problem, you get all dirty…
Anyone watches Gilmore Girls would know
Forget about the fact that it’s in public…. coz some people seem to like that..
But I can’t imagine it being too comfortable….

Sally,
I suspect you have the image of ‘From here to Eternity’ on your mind. The romp just on the edge of the surf where yourve got wind and sand and waves crashing on your unmentionables.
Im sure there are more sedate, tidy and likeable positions to be achieved on a beach. Cant for the life of me think what they are at the moment but I sure the more adventurous amoungst us would know.

I’ve never actually seen ‘From Here to Eternity’, but I do love that scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W6AGM-LxGY
I think that’s the way it should be. After all, if you are going to have sex on a (public) beach, why bother with sedate and tidy?

I have great respect for Sedate and Tidy. Sedate and Tidy are 2 of my best friends. And they often get treated badly by my other friend’s wild and outrageous so when I have the opportunity I promote them.
