Making A Sex On The Beach Cocktail: Pro Tips
As you can see, it’s not the hardest of cocktails to make. If you want to ensure your Sex On The Beach cocktail is perfect every time, then follow these pro tips.
Use Fresh Orange Juice
If possible, use fresh orange juice rather than the store-bought kind. Fresh juice will give your cocktail a more vibrant and genuine flavor, which will ultimately elevate your drink.
Chill Everything
Before you start, be sure to chill your glass and have all the ingredients chilled. There is nothing worse than a watered-down cocktail, and if you don’t chill your ingredients, the ice will melt too quickly.
Shake It Till You Make It Cold
An easy way to know when you have shaken your cocktail enough is to touch the outside of the metal shaker. If it’s icy cold to the touch, then it’s ready to pour. If not, shake it a little while longer.
Use A Measuring Tool
You may feel tempted to just eyeball your measurements when you make your cocktail, but unless you’re a seasoned bartender, you’ll likely get the measurements wrong, which will lead to the balance of your cocktail being off. So, always use a jigger or other measuring device to measure your ingredients accurately.
Garnish Like A Pro
You can garnish your drink with a simple orange slice or forgo the garnish altogether. But, if you want to make the perfect Sex On The Beach cocktail, then garnish with an orange twist and a cocktail umbrella. To make the orange twist, take a channel knife (or a vegetable peeler if you don’t have one) and carefully cut a long, thin strip of orange peel, ensuring minimal pith is attached. Twist the peel over the drink to release the oils and then hang the orange twist over the side of the glass.
