Coppa Sex on the Beach Cocktail. One of the most popular and widely known cocktails. Made of vodka, peach schnapps, pineapple juice and cranberry juice. The history of the Sex on the Beach cocktail is a little hazy but the most cited story dates back to 1987 when a company began selling peach schnapps. The company came up with a contest that they would pay the bar who sold the most peach schnapps 1000 dollars and the bartender who was responsible for the most sales 100 dollars. A bartender called Ted Pizio mixed vodka, peach schnapps, pineapple and cranberry juice and the drink started to become very popular. And the bartender named the popular cocktail Sex on the Beach because he assumed ‘sex’ and ‘the beach’ were two main reasons why spring breakers visited the state Florida.
