Coppa Cocktails Sex on the Beach

Coppa Sex on the beach is made with peach schnapps, vodka, orange juice and grenadine. Dating from 1987, the creation of Sex on the Beach is attributed to Ted Pizio, a young bartender working at Confetti’s in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida as his entry for a cocktail competition for peach schnapps.

Having created a great tasting cocktail from peach schnapps, vodka, orange juice and grenadine he was asked what it was called and thinking of the 2 main reasons that thousands of people visited Ft. Lauderdale during the annual spring break, namely the beach & sex, he called it ‘Sex on the Beach’.

With thousands of students drinking his cocktail, Sex on the Beach soon became a popular cocktail call and is today recognised by the International Bartenders School as a contemporary classic.
