What is the bartender tip for a Sex on the Beach?
The IBA builds it in the glass: 40 ml vodka, 20 ml peach schnapps, 40 ml orange, and 40 ml cranberry. A supermarket peach liqueur (DeKuyper or similar) works; don't swap in orange liqueur — that's a different drink. Fresh orange juice makes a difference in body; cranberry juice cocktail (sweetened) turns the glass pink and round. For the sunset gradient, pour the cranberry last, over the back of a spoon, and don't stir. Shaking (as in the video) integrates and aerates but loses the layer. The catalog's Cosmopolitan is still the cousin served up, with lime and Cointreau.
