Sex In The Driveway

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My Sex in the driveway cocktail features bright fruity flavors and an eye-catching electric blue color. This is one of the most refreshing and gorgeous drinks that everyone should try at least once.

The Sex in the Driveway cocktail is a fun drink with bright flavors of peach and citrus. Its electric blue color is eye-catching making it perfect for any party. 

If you’ve tried my other cocktail recipes, this might sound like a broken record: The origins of this cocktail aren’t clear. Perhaps it’s challenging to track the history of so many famous cocktails because everyone’s too busy enjoying them. Tipsy history, anyone?

Despite its unclear roots, one thing is for sure: the Sex in the Driveway drink recipe is a variation on the Sex on the Beach, another well-loved classic. Sex on the beach uses orange juice instead of blue curacao, and also adds cranberry juice.

Great For

  • Bachelor Parties
  • Summer pool parties
  • Enjoying at home with friends

 

Why I Love This Recipe

  • No Fancy Equipment: No cocktail shaker or blender is required!
  • Goes Down Easy: This fruity drink tastes more like punch than alcohol.
  • Affordable: The common liquors used won’t break the bank.

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips

  • Peach Schnapps: Schnapps is a fun word for flavored distilled spirits. It is made from a neutral grain spirit and peaches.
    • Flavor: Fruity like juicy peaches
    • Cost:$7-$10
    • Strength: 40 proof or 20% ABV
    • Preferred Brands: I like Archer’s but Dekuyper is good too.
    • Also great in Bellinis and Sangria
  • Blue Curacao: Curaçao is a liqueur of Caribbean origin made from the dried peel of the Laraha citrus fruit. Blue Curaçao is virtually the same thing, but artificial blue coloring changes its hue.
    • Flavor: It has a slightly sweet, citrus-forward flavor.
    • Cost:$12-$15
    • Strength: 30 proof or 15% ABV
    • Preferred Brands: Drillaud or Dubouchett
    • Also Great In Margaritas, Blue Hawaiians, and Blue Lagoons
  • Vodka: Depending on your personal preference, using potato-based vodka will decrease the spirit-forward bite, as it tends to have a lighter flavor profile. If you’d prefer a full-bodied, smooth taste, consider using an expensive vodka brand. I like using Pinnacle or Titos.If you want to ramp up the peach flavor in the cocktail, you can also swap in peach-flavored vodka!You can also use rum if desired. 
  • Sprite: Use any lemon-lime soda you prefer. You could also use a lemon lime sparkling water if you prefer a less sweet drink.

How To Make a Sex In the Driveway Cocktail

  1. Fill the glass with ice.
  2. Pour in alcohol. Top off with sprite. 
  3. Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge if desired.

How Strong Is This Drink?

This drink is around 7% ABV or 14 proof. Always enjoy responsibly. 

Bartender Tips and Tricks

 

  • Get Party Ready: Multiply the ingredients by how many drinks you need to serve. You can mix it in a large pitcher and pour it over ice. Or you can opt for the traditional punch bowl so guests can help themselves.
  • Stir Gently: Avoid stirring vigorously which can cause the soda to go flat.
  • Make a Slushie: You can also blend with ice for a fruity bright blue adult slushie.
  • Avoid a Watered Down Drink: You can make ice cubes using fruit juice or even use frozen fruit like peaches.
