History of the Sex on the Beach Cocktail

The year was 1987.

Having sex on the beaches of the Florida during Spring Break was all the rage. Hell, that was the main reason tourists were visiting the area…

…or so bartender Ted Pizio believed.

Working in Confetti’s Bar, Florida, Pizio was challenged to create a cocktail using Peach Schnapps.

At the time, Peach Schnapps was new to the market and they wanted to make it popular…

Very much like how Robert Butt invented the Long Island Iced Tea cocktail in 1972 trying to promote Triple Sec.

The Sex on the Beach cocktail was born.

The popularity of the cocktail came when popular chain TGI Friday’s added the cocktail to their menu. It quickly became a huge hit and soon was ordered at every good bar around the world.
