What did I drink?

Question

I had this drink a few months ago that a friend bought for me. I thought she said it was a Sex on the Beach or a Slow Gin Fizz but I'm not sure. It was light pink, opaque, and tasted like a sweet tart. Mmmmmm, it was really good! So if you could tell me what it was and how to, or where I can find out how to, make it I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Answer 1

Sex on the Beach.

Have you tried calling and asking her?


Sex on the Beach recipe:

Ingredients:

1-1/2 fl. oz. vodka
1-1/2 fl. oz. peach schnapps
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup cranberry juice

Answer 2

it could have been any number of things: Sex on the Beach, Strawberry Daiquiri, Mistress Polly, the list is almost endless. I'll include a couple of recipes here (I don't think Sloe Gin Fizz is pink, but I'll include it anyway) and the links below will give you more, plus a book you can buy that only lists pink cocktails.

Sex on the Beach
- 1 1/2 oz. vodka
- 3/4 oz. peachtree schnapps
- 1/2 oz. creme de cassis
- 2 oz. orange juice
- 2 oz. cranberry juice
- Orange slice
- Maraschino cherry

Combine all ingredients and shake in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into an ice-filled 10-ounce highball glass. Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.

Strawberry Daiquiri
- 2 oz light rum
- 1/2 oz triple sec
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 cup ice
- 5 strawberries

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend well. Pour into a collins glass, garnish with whipped cream if desired. Serve with a straw.

Sloe Gin Fizz
1 1/2 oz. Sloe Gin
3 oz. Lemon Soda or Lemon Juice
Club Soda or Sparkling Water

Combine sloe gin and lemon soda or lemon juice in a shaker filled with ice, shake, pour into a highball glass filled with ice and fill with club soda or sparkling water.

Hope that helps. Don't get TOO drunk testing to find out which it was. LOL

Sounds like a Sloe Gin Fizz w/ the addition of a little cream (maybe 2 tablespoons) for opacity. There are many great drink databases on line. Here's a recipe from one:
