History
The Quick Sex On The Beach Shot is a layered shot-glass take on the Sex on the Beach highball. It swaps the original's vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry for raspberry liqueur, green melon liqueur, lime juice, and pineapple juice. No creation story for the shot itself is documented.
The parent Sex on the Beach is widely traced to a 1987 peach-schnapps promotion in Florida, though some drink historians point to its appearance in a bartending guide as early as 1982.
