Tips for Making Sex on the Beach

• Use good juice. Orange and cranberry make up more than half of the drink, and a cheap sweetened cocktail juice makes it sickly.
• Fill the glass with ice. A full glass keeps the drink colder for longer and dilutes it more slowly than a few cubes.
• Pour the cranberry juice last and slowly, over the back of a spoon, for a sunset effect of red over orange.

What to Serve with Sex on the Beach

• Tortilla chips and salsa

Storing & Reheating Sex on the Beach
