It was spring break, 1987, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Peach schnapps had just been introduced to the American market. A savvy distributor devised a contest that would pay a bonus to the bartender with the highest sales. A young bartender named Ted Pizio, who worked at Confetti’s nightclub, mixed the schnapps with vodka, orange juice and grenadine — and called it Sex on the Beach. “Or so the story goes,” says Scott Barber, head bartender at Bearfoot Bistro, who has an affinity for the cocktail given that he was born in 1987 (though not conceived on spring break). His modern variation combines coconut rum, peach purée, freshly squeezed lime, cognac-infused cherries and a splash of fizzy, calorie-free Monster Energy Ultra Sunrise. It smells like suntan lotion and tastes creamy, yet bright. We only wish he had called it Sex in the Snow.
