Sex on the beach is a highball cocktail made from vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice. It is an International Bartenders Association Official Cocktail. It was created and originally served at TGI Friday's[citation needed]. The ingredients may be shaken together in a shaker with ice, and served in a highball glass. It is referred to as "Sand in your shorts" at Red Robin, and perhaps elsewhere; it is referred to as "Fun on the Beach" at TGI Friday's (to avoid using the word "sex" on their menus.)
