It began as a ploy to sell more peach schnapps as a promotion for the spirit in 1980s Florida and an inventive bartender, Ted Pizio, came up with the solution.
He christened the cocktail based on two factors he thought attracted tourists to visit Florida during Spring Break - the allure of "sex" and the appeal of the "beach."
50 ml vodka 25 ml peach schnapps 50 ml cranberry juice 50 ml orange juice Ice cubes Orange slice and cherry for garnish
Fill a shaker with ice cubes. Add the vodka, schnapps, cranberry juice and orange juice along with some ice.
Shake the ingredients well for about 15-20 seconds and strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice.
Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry. Stir gently before sipping.
