The Sex on the Beach cocktail is an iconic drink that has its own special history and following. But when drinks become this big, it’s only a matter of time before many new versions or twists on them appear . The Sex on the Horizon is one of those twists that takes the classic in a completely different direction and makes it its own unique creation.
The pairing of Peach Schnapps and Banana Liqueur makes for a very fruity and fragrant experience , all be it the Banana is very much the standout flavour amongst the ingredients. The Chambord in this doesn’t add much in the way of taste but does give the drink the dark orange tint you are looking for to add to the aesthetic. Along with this the layer of Jägermeister on top not only brings a sharp initial taste to the cocktail but completes the sunset style horizon look that gives this drink its name.
Ambitious recipes like these will probably be very dividing amongst people, but they will have their fans. It’s certainly worth a try if not just for a look and the cool visuals of it.
Here is how it is made.
