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.

Why I Love This Recipe

- 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.
- 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.
